My father and I picked up a 225 promax and it has one cylinder oversized and it came in pieces (parts that is). It appears that everything is there from when it was torn down and we're starting to get ready to get the process going on building it. We're thinking about sending the block to the machine shop and having all the cylinders put over sized (getting them the same) and running wizard top pins.
It has the good rods so we plan on re-bearing it with the metal caged pistons and slapping it back together.
The ?? I have is it was torn down because of a side pin failure and from the looks of the motor does not appear to have run lean at any point. The guy had the computer re programed and it has Mod VP on the computer now. Also, it has no rev limiter on it....
Is this something I should have sent somewhere to have looked at for fuel curves etc. or do I just get it together and start pulling plugs to check for lean conditions after the build? Thoughts
Thanks for the opinions in advance! This site has been wonderful over the last few years getting me in my boat and comfortable with it!
