" Hi,
I have recently strip
" Hi,
I have recently stripped down the above engine to replace the top engine mount at the suggestion of my mechanic. I decided to do it myself so I could spruce it up a little, new paint job seals etc.
1st Question, during the rebuild we found a crack in the power head to exhaust housing adaptor, we repaired it with an engine block repair putty as itlooked too thin to weld, the putty is rated at 150 deg C. WILL IT LAST.
2nd question, The mechanic said the top engine mount was broken because the motor wobbled when you grabbed it and pushed, the deflection did seem excessive however after replacing the mount the deflection is still there. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
3rd Question What should my motor rev too at WOT? It has a 13 1/4" prop with a 19 deg pitch, 85 HP Johnson V4 1979 Model.
Joe you helped me when I first bouhgt this boat i have spent a bit of money on it and it runns pretty well now, i'm just trying to fine tune it a bit.
Thanks for your help anyone who can.
Regards
