    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Mine looked just like that.....I used Permatex Optimum Gray with new gaskets....never had a problem. I agree, it looks bad...as long as there are no holes in the plate and it is sealed up good it should be ok. Maybe jerry or Nordin will chime in with their take on it.

    Don't have to remove powerhead from lower section. If this motor has been used in salt water the head bolts may be hard to get out, fresh water should be ok.

    1990 Force 120HP #2 Cyl zero compression and upon opening piston shows damage

    Mine was like that on my old powerhead.....asked around and was told it was fine, not to worry about it. Even if you got it flat again it would distort over time they said.

    There are several bolts that hold the cover onto the head.....but all the head bolts go through the cover, so the head bolts will have to come out to get the cover off.

    On my motor they don't list a gasket for the cover, manual says to use a sealer....FYI.

    Need to do something about the water in the cylinder......checked that part # on marineengine.com, that # is for a gasket....after 3 or 4 part number revisions it is listed as a sealer only...they show to use Loctite 587 Blue instead of a gasket for the head cover.

    What is the PURPOSE of Outboard Cylinder Drain Reed Plate (see pic)

    The check valve is built into the fitting the hose pushes onto on the dog bone.....might spray some carb cleaner in there to clean it.....take the boat out and see how it does on the water, under load. Sometimes it runs great in the driveway, and different on the water.

    Running at idle on muffs for extended periods, the plugs tend to get fouled....and without a thermostat will make it worse since engine will not be at proper operating temp. A good Italian tune up on the water will clear it up usually.....

    What is the PURPOSE of Outboard Cylinder Drain Reed Plate (see pic)

    Mine has little metal screens behind each of the reeds.....make sure they are clean......and the hose running to the intake, check to see if it plugged up. Not much to it really.....

    What is the PURPOSE of Outboard Cylinder Drain Reed Plate (see pic)

    It's a cover for the recirculation system, referred to as the "dog bone". The recirc system takes unburned/excess fuel from each cylinder and routes it up to the intake where it is run through again. Can cause issues if it becomes plugged up....poor idle, sluggishness, etc.

    Agreed......just thought the way he found the right valve stem was impressive, and saved me a lot of time trying to find the right one.
