"I bought a boat and 1979 John
"I bought a boat and 1979 Johnson 35hp engine , it had been sitting for a year , the previous owner had died.
I rebuilt carb, pee hole completely blocked, unclogged it , replaced thermostat, went to check head bolt torque, all tight except one , just kept turning, I removed the bolt, no signs of metal in threads like it was stripped
.. are the bolts in this head different lengths ?
Im gonna jerk the head and check the head for warping, and check the hole for signs of stripped threads, Im assuming I can just heli coil if it is stripped ?
Thanx in advance
