I have a '66 Johnson 80HP, holds 100+ on all four, has a new carb, new lower unit, new harness, but now that she's up and running she gets water in two cylinders. Her history is of meticulous care, but the previous owner passed a few years ago, so in what state he left her is unknown.
We got her up and running but she gets water in two cylinders on the same side. I intend to have her repaired (I will not be doing this work, because for the time being I can't) and would like advice before I obtain an estimate:
Assuming I order the parts (so this is labor only), how many hours would one expect to:
Change the exhaust gasket
Change the head gasket
Also, what is a reasonable rate if I need to machine each?
Finally, since the motor seems to be in fine shape otherwise, is it worth it? A new or good used is quite a bit for me, so I'm reluctant to buy a motor and install.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
