Forgot about the fuel rails, and I think three or four injectors. Yes, make sure you warm it up good or # 6 will get real mad at you. I never take off till the smart gauge reaches 100 degree+. Biggest problem seems to be with the reed valves as far as I can tell.
Yes, several interesting stories with the lower units. Although I also had to replace both the lower unit gears just due to use. Wouldn't shift into gear any
more.
I find if you use stuff a lot things wear out. I've worn out lots of stuff, including me!
If the price is right and it checks out I wouldn't be too afraid of a 1999 225 Opti. Very strong motor.
