1989 johnson60 hp tlcea with water in # 3 cylinder Help needed. Compression tested#1= 118. #2=115 #3=105. New to outboards but not motors. Where do I begin.
Had already replaced head gasket Gasket was bad. Impeller was shot. Got this motor from a friend on an old pontoon. If I pull head again what exactly do I need to look for
Pulled the head. Water in #3. Bottom cylinder. Checked the head best I could with straight edge and feeler. Can pass a :002 feeler under some areas but not .004. I’m worried it may be based gasket. I did not use any sealant on the head gasket. Also noticed I had installed gasket with numbers toward the block. Not sure if it matters. I appreciate any advice. No machine shops near me. Should I try glass and sandpaper on the head? I’ll try to upload pics.
Yep you correct as brain fart. Exhaust cover has just a water gasket as exhaust runner cast into block. Dang I need to lay off this watermelon shine …..
