Has low compression on 1 cinder three are at 185 cold and the other is at 115. It was a saltwater motor and i highly doubt it was ever flushed. Oil filter was marked at 150hrs August of 2019 so I belive it to be very low hours. I suspect head gasket because had small amount of water in the oil. Changed oil motor seems to run fine.
This motor is new to me was cheap motor i picked up as a side project in this condition because previous owner thought it was blown and re-powered boat figure I would try and diagnose it and see if i can get it going for cheap.
Need info on how to get the timing chain cover off i have removed all bolts and its loose around all edges but seems held up on so.ething close to the thermostat housing.
Any help or info on what else to look for is greatly appreciated. Really hoping for just a bad head gasket. But can't get past the timing chain cover for now and waitng for my manual to come in
Gues ill just run the ole evinrude till I get er goin good
Thanks
