Hey Guys and Gals,<br />This is my first post. I've been really impressed with the helpfulness of this site.<br /><br />I recently bought a used 1996 Evinrude 90hp VRO. I hung it on to find out there are 2 dead cyls. Found a rebuilt '93 power head and threw it on. Now I have a significant amount of water leaking out of the cowling. NOT coming from the new Base Gasket??<br />Questions.<br />1. Is it possble that it is the exhaust gasket/tube in the mid section?<br /><br />2. I am told there is an aluminum plug in this midsection that may have been dislodged??<br /><br />3. Compression is fine, but, is it possible there is a crack in the block??<br /><br />4. What should the Base Gasket be torqued to??<br /><br />I'm hoping to remove the Power Head again today to see what is happening.<br /><br />Thanks!
