I have a 1985 175 Black Max (oil Injected) 2.4L Outboard that has a bad piston. I was told these motors have sleves that can be replace with a new piston, but I don't know it that is the best thing to do. I also don't want to drop 3 grand + for a whole new powerhead. What is the most cost effective and reliable method to take??
