Question about Mercury Racing motors?

[gn7]

I guess if GN7 didn't build it or doesn't approve of it, it isn't worth a nickel. I can tell you this GN7, there are thousands of Merc motors out there that run flawless and are making their owners happy campers. That's what it all about isn't it? What they paid for it is their business right? Just a little food for thought sir. There are other schools of thought out there.

I never said any thing like that. They can assemble an engine as good as the next guy. That's not their real talent. Marketing is.
Consider that this engine has not one single part other than the oil pan and valve covers and water pump that has not been used in a Merc Racing engine. Only 3 parts.
Then consider the cost difference to buy exhaust and some other parts.
When was the last time you heard GM couldn't assemble an engine? Least we forget that 99.9% of all the engines Merc sells are based on an engine GM designed from the the ground up. I think they have a pretty good handle on how to build one. Merc didn't design anything any more than I did. They are just buying parts and putting them together.

I think it would have been more accurate to say, If Merc didn't build it, the blind, deaf and dumb think its a POS.

For less than the DIFFERENCE between a 502 Mercruiser, and a 520 Merc Racing. That's some EXPENSIVE ASSEMBLING!!
620 HP pump gas. Its biggest failure is, its not BLUE!
