"1) Recently purchased,40R

"1) Recently purchased,40R73D, powerhead appears to have too much crankshaft endfloat ie 0.020"+. Bearings seem ok, turns over. Broken thrust washer perhaps?
2) Can gearcase housing be exchanged with 2-piece housing from 40EL73D motor?
Thanks in anticipation."
 
"I don't fully understand

"I don't fully understand the question John. Both of those models are 1973 standard shift engines that have only one design lower unit.

If by "2-piece", you're speaking of the 5" high extension housing that converts a standard length shaft engine to long shaft.... then yes, the gearcase can be interchanged.

"Yip. Purchased 40R73D as an assembled unit, with one-piece lower unit which has broken anti-cavitation fin, want to replace this with a 40EL73D lower unit casing. I got a complete, but stripped, 40EL73D motor with the 40R73D purchase."
 
John---- They only had split &

John---- They only had split ( at the propshaft )cases on the 40hp in NORTH AMERICA.End float on the crank is OK.Perhaps different marketing where you are.Perhaps somebody " filled " in the bolt holes on the one to fool you. PICTURES POSTED of your lower units before I try to help more.
 
"Alaska Bob and Joe, I owe you

"Alaska Bob and Joe, I owe you guys a sincere apology, as when going to photograph my two lower units found they are BOTH split units. Feel like a real fool, however, thanks very much indeed for the guidance, much appreciated."
