What does this look like to you?

Does this look like JB Weld to you? I am in the process of rebuilding/restoring my 1985 140HP V4 VRO and I found this inside.

The motor ran, it had a rough idle and turns out that one of the pistons/cylinders was shot.


I need to remove the powerhead, but fear that its not going to be easy with that "weld." Any suggestions?


Does anyone know where I can get the puller and the lifting eye to lift the powerhead straight off?

Thanks, Jay

I think it will lift right off.--That smear of epoxy is not going to hold it on.----------------Fabricate an adapter to use the crankshaft threads for lifting.

Ever done it or seen it done?

Ok. I'm hoping its just on the outside and not between the block and midsection edges. Thanks.

I've never used this stuff before. So, its not as tough as 5200?

Somebody just smeared that on there to try and stop a water leak, it is not holding anything.-------I made my own adapter to lift these motors , nothing to it.

Cool. Thanks. Any photos of adapter by chance?

No photo required -------Take 1-1/2 round steel and drill and tap for crankshaft thread ( at least 10 threads ) drill and tap other end for suitable eyebolt 1/2 or bigger.

Ok. Thanks. I'll look into that.
