    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way

    An overheat causes the headgasket to leak into the cylinder walls because an iron head and open-deck aluminum block is not the smartest design Only being able to turn 90 degrees would have me pulling the motor and putting it on a stand regardless of the motor

    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way

    stop turning the crank from the crank bolt. always use the starter or flywheel teeth. since you removed the drive, you have a motor issue. if the head gasket went on the motor, you will have rust in the cylinder bores.
