You mean the block that is in front of alternator or the round top of the motor mount. In the mercruiser version I watched that block comes off and you can put belt in there but on mine the bolts are so long they won’t come out and to get them out I would probably have to raise engine in front...
Scott. Thanks for replying Hand grenade or gasoline seems easier at this point but I’m going to attempt it since I’ve come this far. What do you mean by the alignment and I don’t need to remove any other parts only the front center mount
Ok. So to be sure. Your saying take the center bolt in the mount loose or out and slightly raise the motor then Slide belt behind the mount or under mount. I don’t have to raise it high enough to get the side plate off to slide belt in like a mercruiser 3.0. ? That would be raising it like 5...
So I have to lift the front of motor up with hoist and slide belt under the mount ? Do I have to loosen rear ones too? Or just put wood block or something under the front I’m confused. Thanks.

I saw a video on that but on mine of course the bolts are too long and hit the engine box so you can’t get that piece out ! I’m so over this engine lol.
I was able to take the riser off and make another gasket with a better material and it went together much easier. Haven’t started it yet because when it was running before I guess the alternator bracket wasnt tight enough & it broke the belt. I have another belt but having hard time finding...
I started it a few minutes ago was loud. Smoking out at the outdrive and idling way too high like 2000 rpm. Only place I saw water was a tiny drip coming from the riser plate . In the middle of the back side where the nuts are instead of bolts. Still milky under the valve cover but not as bad...
Hey brother. I appreciate you expertise on my body motor. It’s been a job for sure so hard to get to anything and I’ve had some bad breaks besides impossible to get parts. I thought I was over the hump after fixing the broken bolt in the manifold and reattaching the riser ( I used red...
If I have to take it back apart I will make another gasket out of the material I bought . I’m getting really frustrated after all my work I’ve done and not being able to find gaskets and parts it’s just real frustrating! I tried to start it today with muffs on. It was real hard to start and...
I am using the old one on top of red permetex. There is no getting a new one. I bought 4 none of them fit and I checked with over 20 sources and was not able to find one. I didn’t want to remove the riser to make another one that’s for sure. I e been told by several mechanics that not much...
Hey guys and girls if there are some on here, I am finishing up my upper rebuild of my motor in my pontoon boat and I neglected to take pictures of the linkage and I think I had it right the first time, but I broke a bolt off in the manifold so I had to take it back off again And now I’m not...
No the head had been machined. They did that. The one that broke was clean at the thread part. Just blew them out with air.
I got it all back together today . Was a little messy with riser gasket not one piece but I used red gasket sealer on both sides and it went together good. Just have...
Thanks for reply. I’ve had some real issues with putting her back together recently. I’ve been doing it by myself and the manifold etc are pretty heavy and no studs on the head made that a chore I’d rather not repeat. ( spoke too soon ). I got everything back together & put fresh oil in was...
