Hello, Evins here and I am writing about my evinrude 90HP motor which is stubborn to take off. I've read numerous posts and seen numerous videos but I can't seem to remove the powerhead.
I've removed the lower unit and the 6 bolts and 4 nuts holding the head in, chained the motor to the cherry picker, used rust penetrator and some heat, bashing it with rubber mallets and hammering no thread bolts up one of the 6 bolts.
I have broke one of the studs off the 6 bolts and tried drilling the remaining out but with no luck and has had it weighing off the cherry picker for about 2 days with bashing but it still won't come off. Some ideas I have is using a putty knife to hammer in the head itself but am afraid of screwing it up.
The main reason for removal is I'm losing compression and suspect the piston ring is destroyed as the pistons show some metal bashing and I'm going to replace all of them.
Thanks.
