Parts for a Mercruiser 1.7 DTI

[Heiner]

Hallo, ich bin auf der Suche nach Ersatzteilen für einen Mercruiser 1.7 DTI Motor. Leider gibt es scheinbar nicht mehr alle Teile über Merc. zu kaufen.
Nun meine Frage:
Passen die Kolben und Ventile vom Opel Combo 1.7DTI 16V mit 75PS? Von den Maßen müsste es passen. Gibt es Erfahrungen dazu?
Gruß Heiner

Google translated: Hello, I am looking for spare parts for a Mercruiser 1.7 DTI engine. Unfortunately, it seems that all parts are no longer available through Merc. to buy.
Now my question:
Do the pistons and valves of the Opel Combo 1.7DTI 16V with 75HP fit? The dimensions should be right. Is there any experience with this?

The valves & pistons from the car engine do fit however the pistons are different, folk have used them but no idea how long they last. The engines are truly awful as a marine engine & nowadays I'd look for an alternative rather than rebuild its usually the marinised parts that cause the failure in the first place & they are difficult to find now. Personally I'd junk it & look for something else

I may have one or two used marine pistons lying around depending how many you need but I'd need to check

Ok, erst mal Dankeschön für die Hilfe, Ich benötige nur eigentlich nur einen Kolben. Zwei wären besser, falls sich herausstellen sollte, dass noch mehr defekt sind. Wäre es möglich mir die Kolben zu zusenden?

Google translate: Ok, first of all thank you for the help, I actually only need one piston. Two would be better in case more turn out to be defective. Would it be possible to send me the pistons?

I've got one marine piston & 4 automotive pistons sent you a message
