    heads are not repairable due the amount of material missing. Inside the port is just as bad. He found brand new ones for $500 each,  I had him order 4 even though he has not seen the port motor. I think they are just as bad. So new heads. The block is good and will recieve main bearing, rod bearing, pistons and rings. He said leave the cam alone and stay at 9 to 1 compression. If I go for more power I would be opening a can for worms. He is the motor man so I will as he suggested. Quote is $3000. Per motor so I'm happy with that.

    3 per engine sounds pretty good 👍. Why is there so much material missing from the heads, is that just all corrosion and after the blasted it that's what was left?

    Yes 17 years the salt ate it away. The glass bead sure makes thing look nice. Who knows how the pervious owners took care of manifolds.

    Hooked up an old set of Rinker gauges to the volvo harness. Now I can run the motors on the pallets when I get then back for the machine shop. Even figured out the harness for the key it passes around the the gauges now I will have oil,temp and voltage.

    I noticed the Laphroaig in the case, do you also have a taste for the salty scotch 🙂

    1st motor back from the machine shop. I'll get it together in the next 2 weekends. Then strip down the other one and send it. Thinking if I get the 2nd one back by the end of February beginning of March should be on track for spring.

    Lookin' good!  I think I have the same engine leveler that you have.  Those L-brackets look very familiar.

    If you look at the 3rd pic you can see the exhaust port all rusted up. I have read that the big blocks reverbate and draw the exiting water back to the port. You rev the motor up a little (1100rpm) then shut down. Mercuiser addressed this problem with a different riser then Volvopenta.also the gasket is designed to catch water.
