Merc 525SC Specs
I plan on building a 525SC and would like to know what are the engine specs. Also, does anybody have a input shaft and both top pulleys for a 1988 merc 525SC blower?
Thanks in advance

The blowers are rated for for a max of about 13000rpms. I actually had mine overdriven at about 2.5:1 and it had 500hrs on it. I did change the lube about 25-30hrs.

I believe i may have all the info you are looking for from the merc service manual. It contains all specs from piston to bore clearace to bearing clearences . all the specs to build to. If you can find a service manual for that motor its in that book. I can make a copy of mine and mail or fax it to you or you can find your own book. send me an email at
