HI there, great video. I have a 1974 40 hp Mercury. We started it on the
muffs the other day and we had water squirting out of the Spark Plug on the
top cylinder. Have you got any ideas on this? I am about to go home and
strip the engine down. Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hey Michael. Yes you can, you need to buy the tool to suit the motor you
are working on. A dealer should be able to order the correct one in for
you. Or if you have a friend with a lathe spin one up.

I have a question4 u buddy,im rebulding a 1997 mercury 90hp,it doesnt have
cyl,heads, i have to put in the pistons by the back & then drop in the
crankshaft, can i still use a piston ring compressor or would i have
compress the rings with a flat screw driver on my motor?..great video you

Good Video, Good Tips. I wish my mercs had removeable heads. Sure makes
life a lot easier than compressing from the back side.
