Water in 1 Cylinder Head...

[smithrc]

I have a 1996 112 Johnson. The engine was running a little rough yesterday so I decided to check the plugs. 1 plug had moisture on it and it tasted salty. I guess the head gasket is bad. Could there be another problem? The motor never overheated to my knowledge.

Can you do a compression test to verify that????<br /><br />I hate doing work on a "maybe" are you sure it was water and not fuel???<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Frank

Which plug is it?<br /><br />If it's #4, I would suspect the Lower main crankshaft seal.
