I need to rebuid my 1GM10 due to lack of compression. Do any of you have input with regards to costs and experience. Any input would be welcome. Lee Henderson

If the boat is in good shape and

you intend to keep her consider repowering with a new engine. call your Yanmar dealer and find out the price of a new 1GM10. A couple of years ago it was in the neighborhood of $2,800. Have you determined the cause for the lack of compression; it can be ring wear, burnt valves or head gasket, bent or cracked cylinder head. The cause will influence the cost of a rebuilt. If you just have to replace rings, bearings and gaskets a rebuild may be warranted but if you have to replace a cylinder head, corroded engine casings or cylinder block you may as well get a new one.
