"Hi Everyone,
I recently posted about having a cracked block. I decided that the best route to take would be a Long block. It arrived this past Friday. I'm looking for some pointers on the installation. I have a Clymer Shop Manual.
I would like to leave the Stern Drive on, and pull it that way. A previous post said to mark the position of the engine before pulling it. I don't quite understand the alignment process in the Manual if you pull the Drive. I'm trying to avoid this.
Also, the other thing that I'm not sure about is applying the extra silicone etc. in the Gasket kit instructions. Any tips about this? I'm thinking that I should just apply a bead of RTV silicone to every gasket. Which surface do you apply the silicone too?
By the way, for those that remember my previous post. I would have had to remove the Engine for the guy to weld it. The cost was going to be 350.00. I decided that if I have to remove the Engine that I might as well replace it.
Thanks, Skip"
