Hi
Just wanted to share some pics from my latest project.
Take a look here:

This engine had two siezed pistons and was missing a carb, other than that it was in very good shape.
I desided to do a heavy cleanup of the ports while it was apart.
The wheather is still a bit to cold to permit a test start but ive prepared a test stand so that it can be run on the hose whitout lower unit.
Time will tell if it works or not!
The last one I did turned out very good but were more bottom end grunt than top end performance, this motor was given some more exhaust duration (and wider ports)
As well as more free flowing intake (duration and area).
Production of these engines stopped -79 when Volvo dropped the outboards.
Part are still quite easy to find except for pinion gears and oversized pistons, I think I bought the last decent second hand one in sweden![]()
Hope it won't sieze again
Thanks for looking
