Hi All,
On Sunday I replaced the waterpump on my 1988 EvinrudeXP 150. My Clymer manual calls for OMC adhesive to be used to glue the waterpump housing with the inner cup and to use on the mating surface of LU when installing back to the motor. Being that it was Sunday and I didnt have OMC Adhesive I did a quick search and found a tread stating that Permatex#1 was an alternative. I went ahead with the Permatex1 and now I have concerns that I shouldnt have. Permatex#1 is fast drying and hardening.
Question: Will this be an issue when dropping the LU in the future? Will the permatex that sqeezed inside the LU after mating back to the motor get in to the engine water pasages and possible cause a blockage/overheading?
What should I do at this point? I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks
