Appreciate the reply guys, Jiggz I definitely didn't do that, I'll make sure to watch out for the slack this weekend. And I'll try the three step torqueing... Anything I can buy that will allow me to get a torque wrench on those bottom three bolts?
Interesting I'll try that one on the next gasket, and it's 130 inch pounds. I couldn't get the torque wrench in on the bottom three bolts but I tried my best to match the other 5.. As for torqueing them I did started them at 70 inch pounds then went to to 130
This is the pattern I'm using.
Edit- couldn't upload picture., enjoy this drawing
And I believe I used 80 and 100 grit with the old head. Both the head and the blocked was cleaned before I put a new gasket in.
The gasket is the only one available it looks like.. A buddy told me he had an issue...
Hey all
New to the forum and boats in general.. Hope you guys can give me some insight, I'm close to losing it on this thing
The impeller went the third time I took out my new to me force outboard, resulting in the motor getting quite warm, and myself having a very long day getting it back to...
