So my Johnson 50 hp (1982) had a lower unit crack that leaked all the oil and caused it to bind up. I sent the lower unit casing to a friend who does aerospace welding and had it welded closed. The problem is that the bottom of the output section of the casing (where the transmission goes) is slightly warped, and no longer perfectly round. The transmission now does not fit in all the way. Ideas to get it in there? Grinding down material proved very tough because the warped part is towards the back. Is there a way to bend it?
