Make sure that seal is 100% good. If it leaks, it will destroy the powerhead.

Hmmm. Makes me woner. Why would someone take apart a perfectly good engine!

I have the parts manual for that engine if you want to PM me your email address and request.

Kinda makes me think of those deals with cars, when some one said; "it ran when parked" LMAO but at the time it was being parked number 3 rod was going, clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank clank and the flat tire barely got it to the parking spot. And parking this car took place back in 1976, when one of his buds brought over a 12 pack, to help move it. 2011 comes along, and someone comes by to prospectively purchase this car and he is told........"it ran when parked" I'm sorry, but I just had this visual when I read this post.

So, just how much in pieces is this motor? Did someone just remove the powerhead to change the waterpump? Or is the powerhead in pieces too?

The cork gasket on the very top, displayed in F_R's attachment, is the one that keeps the water out, so make sure that this is new, when you put the motor back together. A good o-ring is a must. And make sure the spring is in good shape too.

the power head was intached everything looked good i got it of a boat motor repair guy he got it on a trade and tore it down to go over it but he is so back up he has no time to put it back together he said it ran and was a good motor im just stuck on the shaft does the gasket and the plate go into the power head and the oring,carbon seal,spring and spring retainer go on the shaft im trying to get it together to do a compression test
