Bad news, the overhauled cylinder head has not fixed the problem, there is still no compression in the numbers 1& 2 cylinders. Strange amount of wear too, far more than can be accounted for from 360hrs of running time that shows on the clock. You don´t suppose somebody switched the hourmeter do you?
Any way the end result is that the engine will have to come out, I will probably haul the boat tommorow and we will move ashore until it is fixed, not sure how long this will take as parts need to be shipped, but it can be done , there are good machine shops here, but this is going to take a bout a year out of our cruising budget.
Still haven´t figured out how to access local wifi, but we will have a phone soon.
