Merc V-200 87´ deceased or not?
Hi all
I need some help to dertermine what is wrong inside my motor.
The story goes like this:
During my last ride the engine started making noise (like a blown bearing or something) and stopped. I wasn´t able to start the engine again. After being towed to shore I tried to locate what went wrong.
The engine won´t start now and the starter-motor can turn the engine 2 revolution before getting stuck. The Battery is ok and has turned the starter-motor fine until now. Keep pushing the ignition (starter-motor) will bring the crank past this "dead" point but on if I keep forcing the starter-motor on several times. When the crank gets past this "dead" spot the starter-motor will turn the crank 2 revolutions again before getting stuck again.
I hope this make some kind of sense, if not, please ask and I´ll try to supply you with further details.
What I want to know is:
Is this engine dead or not?
What causes the engine to get stuck after 2 revolutions?
Kind regards
Christian, Denmark

You have more than likely stuck a piston. Pull the heads and quit trying to start it. You can only hurt it worse by turning it over.

I´ve located the problem to left bank lower cylinder. The conrod bearing is trashed (pic 4) and small pieces of metal has unfortunately damaged both the piston and the cylinder wall. I am now in the process of disassembling the motor totally and it is going well so far. However, I can´t remove metalring between the flywheel and the crankshaft (pic 5+6). I need to remove that ring in order to remove the black part under that ring. First then can I remove the block and get to pistons, rods etc.
Hoping you can give me a bit of advice both in relation to removing the ring (pic 5+6) and maybe an idea of whether the block can be rebuild or needs a replacement. I asume that the conrod bearing, conrod (maybe) and piston can be replaced.

Flywheel puller is needed to remove the hub... no need to remove the 8 bolts to remove the wheel, comes off with the hub!

If that bearing is as bad as it looks you are going to need a piston, bearing, rod and crankshaft at a minimum and yes the block can be fixed. If you have a lifting ring you can drill the center and tap it then run a bolt down onto the end of the crank to separate flywheel hub. As stated above you could have left the flywheel in one piece. Good luck.

I´m having a hard time seperating the Block from the Mid section and would like to ask if there is any tips end trix for this operation.
I´ve removed the 10 Nuts that holds the Block together with the Mid section but the Block is pretty much stuck.
I´m thinking of putting back the Flywheel and the try to get one of those lifting eyes that fits on top/inside the Flywheel. Is that the way or is there another way to loosen the Block from the Mid section?
Regards

Now the motor is pretty much disassembled and I have inspected the Block, Rod, crank, Piston etc.
The piston has small scratches on the sides and some significant nicks on top. The Crank and rod has some damage but I can´t tell if it is possible to repair (if necessary) or not.
The Rod bearing is totally gone. The block has a significant scratch and I hope that the block can somehow be repaired.
Questions:
Which parts needs to be repaired and is it realistic to re-fit some of the old parts?
I know for sure that I need a piston and rings but what about the conrod?
For sure I need a new bearing (the old one isn´t there anymore.
Can the crank be repaired?
I´m planing to replace all piston rings since I have all pistons out of the motor now, good idea?
Is there anything else that you guys would consider replacing now that I have the motor disassebled at this level?
Pictures of the involved parts attached below.
I hope you guys will take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Thanks

You need a crank, rod, piston and a sleeve...plus the required rebuild parts.

Crank, piston, rod makes sense but I´m not sure how to get the block re sleeved. Are you refering to the chrome bore and can the chrome bore/sleeve be replaced?
