[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 285117, member: 7791"] Motor looks to be in fair/good condition. I would ask why the thermostat and head bolts have been removed, as I can see they are all missing the factory paint in the pics. Sure sign the head has been pulled before. Do a compression test before buying. You want a minimum of 100psi in each cylinder with no more than 10-15% difference between the two. All that being said the motor is not priced cheap but it is not outrageous either (as long as it has good compression). My motor which was purchased new in 87' by my father and handed down to me is in great condition and has been maintained and stored inside its whole life, and if I were to sell it I couldn't reasonably expect more than $800-900. I still have yet to see an 87' for sale in the condition mine is in though. As far as the quality of the motor.....second to none in that HP range. These were OMC's best years and that motor is bullet proof if maintained well. I have no complaints in the 25yrs we have owned it. [/QUOTE]
