Hello , long time viewer, first time poster. Great site btw.
Wondering if any of the engine gurus here could answer a quick and easy question. And a pre-thanks to the ones that do.
I have a 1987 Evinrude 150tlcur. Recently it has been overheating.
changed thermostats
changed water pump
changed grommet
No difference
Pulled heads (part # 328324 and 328325) and found deflectors to be swollen and some gunk in the water jackets. Replaced the deflectors and removed the gunk.
At that point figured i would pull the head covers off and clean any material lodged in there as well........Arghhhhh....All the heat i could use and still the old bolts were snapping.
Now my question. My neighbor has a pair of heads in his garage parts # 332 544 and 332 545.... I have found one small post on the internet stating that these will fit....and a later post saying that these are even better..
If I replace with these heads will I need to re-jet the carbs or change the timing. Or will the be a direct plug and play replacement.
If re-jet and or timing is involved would anyone know what size jets. and which way on the timing.
Thanks a ton
