95' 150 Evinrude water problem

[mark6687]

I have a 95 Evinrude 150 Intruder The top right cyclinder gets just enough water in it to <br />foul out the spark plug. The heads are good no cracks. I've replaced the O rings on the heads. <br />Is there another way water can get in the cyclinder? short of a cracked block or leaking sleeve?<br />Is there a treatment for a cracked block or leaking sleeve? short of a new block. <br />Any suggestions are welcomed!<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Mark O

I have heard that a "glue joint" during manufacture is a common cause of this. There is no fix if this is the problem. Do a search and you'll see numerous threads.<br />Good Luck

Also, have the head checked to see if it's warped.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

There is company in Clearwater Florida, that repairs the block. Someone post phone number. I have not realy look at this problem, but if I did not want to spend much money for repairs, I would remove the gear case, connect a bldge pump to the water tube, plug the tattle tale, and try to maintain 15 lbs water pressure in block. Use about 5/7 gallons water in tub, large enough to catch all water that comes out of exhaust tube. A double dose of your faverate block sealer, run engine, keep pumping the water/sealer thru block, while watching engine temp. The sealer probley will work better with hot water. When finished clean thermostats and tattle tale hose.

Mark, You are correct about the glue seam leak. I had the same problems with my '92 150. I eventually lost that piston and sleeve due to the water washing the oil off the cylinder wall. I pulled the sleeve and then pressured up the block with air and sprayed a soap/water mix to find the area leaking. I then ground out the cracked area and JB Welded it. I then pressured up the block to 35 Lbs. to make sure I sealed the leak. Put it back together with a new piston and sleeve. I've had running for 2 months with no problems. Don't know how long this "FIX" will last so I'm croosing my fingers.
