    Applying Gel Seal to Crankcase Halves. Any Tips?

    Ok, I have the proper Permatex anaerobic sealer 51817 (small tube) or 51813 (large tube). All old gel seal has been cleaned off of both surfaces. I have read that you can use a black light to check for residue. I haven't done that yet, but I will seeing as I already have the light. Surfaces...

    Piston Coatings: Any benefits?

    This seems to be a common thing in the automotive world , but I haven't read anything on the subject regarding outboard engines other than Wiseco offers coated pistons. There are two basic types of coatings and there are probably varients of each type. The first type is a thermal coating that...

    V6 Looper Crankcase Head Bolts: Possible Cheaper Alternative.

    I am in the process of rebuilding a 1988 225 HP powerhead. I had mentioned to Faztbullet that the bottom crankcase head bolts were severely corrode, and he recommended that I upgrade to the bolts used in the 2001 engines. (I'm talking about the bolts for the upper and lower crankshaft bearing...

    Need help Identifying Carbs PN 433449, 199X 200 or 225 V6

    I purchased an Evinrude motor that was going to the scrap yard for spare parts I needed. I stripped what I could off of it and the rest went to the scrap yard. Model number and engine cover were missing so I'm not sure if it was a 200 or 225 HP engine or even what year it was. I want to...

    Ring Gap Question: 1988 225 HP V6 Looper

    I'm in the process of rebuilding the power head on one of my engines. Following the instructions, I installed each ring in the particular cylinder bore that it will be installed in, squared it up with one of the pistons and measured the end gap. All of the rings with the square profile are...

    Crankcase Vent Modification: Is fitting readily available locally?

    1988 225 HP V6 Looper I have my engine apart for rebuild, and I am doing the crankcase vent mod to improve the idle. Is the fitting I will be adding to vent the crankcase readily available locally, perhaps at an auto parts store, or does it have to be ordered from Evinrude? I'd like to get this...

    I have six recirc valves from a parts engine that I want to clean up and keep for spares. Four of them test OK and two are blocked. All of them have at least some hardened residue on the screen which I would like to clean off. What solvent will break down the deposits but not damage the...

    What is the proper way to check cylinder bore roundness?

    1988 V6 Evinrude 225 When checking the cylinder bores for roundness, should the crankcase casting be bolted to the block and torqued to spec. or doesn't it matter? I will be taking the block to a local engine builder who has all the proper equipment to check the cylinder bores and pistons. I...

    1988 V6 Looper: What are the pros and cons of decking the block?

    I have a 1988 Evinrude 225 HP engine that I'm in the process of disassembling for what I hope will be a low cost rebuild. The cylinder bores all look to be in good condition and when I get the pistons and crank out I will get them to the local engine builder to have them checked. Hopefully they...

    What's the best way to remove the magnets from the flywheel? 1988 V6 225 Evinrude

    I had two magnets come loose that need to be cleaned and epoxied back on. The last time I reattached all of them was at least 12 years ago, so I think the prudent thing to do is to epoxy all of them. What is the best way to remove the four that are still attached that will minimize the chance...

    !988 Evinrude 225: Stator problem, Cause or Effect?

    I have a 1988 V6 Looper that was running only on the starboard side bank but intermittent on cylinder 1. I did a resistance check on the ignition charge coils. The port side was 1000 Ohms (normal) and the starboard side was about half that, 485 Ohms ( not good). When I removed the flywheel I...

    1986 225HP V6 Looper Hard starting, bogs, stalls

    I just installed this engine to replace an ailing 1988 Looper. It has been in storage for a long time, but was advertised as low hours, and from the condition, I would say that is accurate. The engine started and ran at the dealers on an engine stand. I was told a compression test was done and...

    Intermittently won't start. 1988 V6 225 Looper

    One of my engines has been giving me trouble starting. Typically I had the problem when I tried to start the engine after it had been sitting all week and I would want to use it for the weekend. If I could get it started, would run perfectly and start every time after it was warmed up. I have...

    1988-1992 Powerpack Identification Question

    I have what appears to be an OEM 1988-1992 Evinrude power pack. It is identical to the power pack that I removed, but I cannot cross reference the part number. On the underside of the powerpack is printed 586662 CD6AL/67 I've checked two different sources, Evinrude, and CDI and did not see...

    GLM 90330 Driveshaft Shimming Tool Setup ???

    I'm using the GLM 90330 and 90335 shimming tools to determine the proper amount of shims to use on my 1988 V6 gearcase. At one end of the tool is a spring loaded plunger that the end of the driveshaft goes on. It appears that the purpose of this is to push the driveshaft, driveshaft bearing,and...
