Blown headgasket

[Terry England]

Padre, If you pull the head be sure to check the cyliner walls. The Mexican-Mercuriser cast iron blocks had notoriously thin castings on the cylinder walls. I would recomend not boring the block on a rebuild because that just increases the chance of a vertical crack in the cylinder walls.

I found it quite difficult to "Go In Peace" with my 140 Mercruiser - in fact on many occations it caused me to take the Lord's name in vane!! (I'm "clawing" my way back to Grace with my E-Tec)
