2 weeks ago I was backing into a slip and heard a ticking sound on the port side. When I got into the slip I put her in neutral and didn’t hear anything. Reved a little and still no sound, same with bumping her into forward. Leaving to head back to home dock she jumped up and took off with no issues. Power seemed good, I didn’t want to firewall her just in case there was an issue. Next weekend we head out and all seemed good again, this time I gave more power and the port engine seemed like it didn’t want to go over 4000 RPM’s. I pulled back a little and tried again, this time she went up to around 4300-4500. Something didn’t seem right. Back at the slip I noticed a slight vibration on the port engine at idle. Decided to pull her, we had a great season and my daughter’s schedules were getting busy so it was a good time to pull her anyway. Pulled her on Monday had her shrink wrapped on Wednesday and today I started to dig in! No compression on the # 1 cylinder! Pulled the valve covers and all looked good. Stuck a borescope in the plug hole, piston and cylinder all looked great. The piston head did look super clean, could be a head gasket. I could only see half the valves, tough to tell but I don’t think the exhaust valve was fully seating, could be tuliped. Pulling the heads off to take a deeper look at it.  More pictures to come in the following weeks.
Any tips for when it goes back together?Let me know!⚓️
