Same thing happened to me. And I replaced with a new version of the same engine (Volvo) and it had many differences I had not anticipated. Lot of busy work I hadn't planned on; exhaust and controls on opposite sides, bigger mounts etc.
Being raw water cooled may prevent a rebuild if there is a lot of corrosion or water ways blockage.

I was so proud to get the East Coast Lady for a song... Now It looks like she needs a new power plant. If the compression test today shows her to have low compression I will swap the engine out my self. I have one question? can I swap the 2GM-13 3400 rpm engine "RAW water cooled" With a 2GM20F 16HP fresh water cooled engine? Is it the same size? Are the engine mounts the same? Does it still draw raw water thru and out the back to cool the exchanger? Its a running take out with the transmission. Oh one other question, any way to find out the age on the engine I will buy? SN# is in the 12,000s Thanks for your help. Even with a repower I will still be below 7,000 on the boat.
