Need Head

[mutt1997]

I have a 1972 25hp, Evenrude outboard motor that I messed up the sparkplug threads in, and I'm having trouble finding a new or used head for. I've tried to rethread them and that doesn't work to well. Can anyone please tell me where I can get another head for this motor or where to look? Thanks for the help.

John,<br /><br />Any auto parts store that does Machine Shop service, should be able to Hielcoil it for you. Very inexpensive and quick!

Yes, a helicoil is the way to go. It’s easy and you should be able to do it. The coils with installation tool costs under $50 might even be around $30. Most auto parts stores have them. Good luck!

I agree with the heli-coil. Had it down on a 69' Johnson. Worked like a champ and is still holding up to this day.
