" I have a 1985 Evinrude 140 H
" I have a 1985 Evinrude 140 HP with a cracked block. The crack is at the lowest rear part of the left cylinder bank between the water passageway and the OUTSIDE of the block (NOT through the cylinder). The cylinders themselves appear to be fine. Lower Unit is in good shape too. Engine runs well, just leaking water out this crack - I thought it was just a leaky head gasket....
Is this a common problem ??
If I repair this crack, is it reasonable to assume that the engine should operate normally and reliably into the future ?
Is it smarter to replace the block ?
Is is smarter to replace the entire engine ?
Looking for some experienced guidance !!!!
Thanks in advance,
