Here's a 2 vs. 4 stroke comparison:

Ludi,

Your up early!! It's 1 in the afternoon over here in ABU DHABI. I didn't think I'd see much action on here early in the morning.

I'm a early riser, 0430-0500 like clockwork. The wife is the same. Alarm clock not needed in my house. Whatcha doing in Abu Dhabi?

[Fishinspot]

Wow,

I try to get up that early but it doesnt always work! I am here working till next weekend. Flew into and stayed in Dubai and them came down here for the rest of the trip. It is VERY hot here, 43/44C here today. Luckily the sun is going down now so I'm going to get a couple drinks and take it easy for the rest of the night!! Looks like those pistons will go for another year or 2!

Blown powerhead = Anything that happens within the moving parts of the engine that causes the engine to stop running and requires the engine to be dismantled and rebuilt.

It can be one cylinder or one bearing or a complete catastrophic break down.

On the "motor" and "engine" thing, yeah its strange why the outboard adopted the term "motor" but I think the term "engine" is used just as much if not more.

LOL...Here's a video of a powerhead doing it's stuff (wow...videos, not all boating forums have this nice little feature)
