    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    Hello, For needle bearings on the connecting rod and piston, I don’t see grease on them from outside. Maybe the grease was all washed away over time. My question is should I disassemble bearings and holder and add some grease on them or just putting 2 stroke oil without disassembling is OK...

    Thank you. Yes. I have an adhesive spray so that the sand papers will be in place while resurfacing. What’s the size of the feeler gauge to check the flatness after resurfacing?

    Before the genuine factory manual arrives early next week, I would like to go ahead and resurface the cylinder head. How flat should it be? I am expecting that the requirement of the flatness should be on the manual, but I don’t have it yet. Thank you !

    I placed an order for the genuine manual and it should arrive in the beginning of next week. Damn it. I wish I could return the useless fake manual that I bought on eBay.

    Sorry for the late reply. I have a service manual on CD that I bought on ebay. Is this the factory manual you are talking about? If not, where can I get it?

    I was talking to another colleague who has done honing several times. He told me to use ball type honing because it won’t create burrs on cylinder walls but this confuses me a bit and it’s different from the one I have. I can’t really imagine why ball type honing tool doesn’t create burrs on the...

    Thank you for the information. Sunnen honing oil seems to be the most appropriate one to use. Let me see if I can get it quick.

    Questions again. What honing oil would you guys recommended? It seems WD40 shouldn’t be used as it dries up quickly. How about engine oil or lower unit oil? Also, when rebuilding, should I use engine assembly lub.? Any alternatives? Thank you

    Yes. I’ve purchased used rods because new ones are very expensive.

    Question about honing. When I look through the cylinder, I see some “walls” on the crankshaft side. Do I just try my best to hone as close to the wall but not to touch the walls? I am using self alignment honing tool as below. I know I need to make crosshatch marks on the cylinder walls with the...

    Well, at least one of them for sure and can’t really judge the other one, but they are old anyway.

    I can see all pistons have scorings. Does it look like I should replace all of them? Two connecting rods may have a crack. I need to have a close look tomorrow.
