Unless you are using it everyday te temperature changes periodically rather
than every day would be much less damaging.

Just for the record... if you store your boat inside a heated and cooled
garage, isn't the temperature difference more extreme when you pull the
boat
outside? Seem like if the boat is stored outside, then it will adapt
easier
to the temperature changes over a period of time, instead of an abrupt
change all at once. Don't ya think?

That's the number 1 cause of gaskets going, hoses cracking etc. I know
in
many cases it's unavoidable. Your area has pretty harsh temp extremes
too,
doesn't it?

Fortunately it only took a couple minutes. The piston has very
minor
spatter marks. Looks like it has been getting a little bit of
water
for
quite some time. It was very clean, but fortunately no rust.
The
gasket
just picked now to completely give up. The gasket is definitely
blown
the
metal rim was gone for over and inch, and a small piece of the
fiber
was
missing directly into one of the water ports.

Even better news. The cylinders have no discernable ridge. I
didn't
mic
it
as I don't have an inside micrometer, but doing the finger nail
test
I
could
not feel anything at all. I think this motor has very very few
hours
on
it.
Cool deal.

Sounds rebuildable to me. You, my friend were very lucky.
