So I'm to the point of bolting my rebuilt upper unit to the driveshaft housing, and things just feel wrong.
The service manual calls 45 ft/lb in three steps on these skinny 8mm bolts. It can't possibly be this high can it? I was brave enough to get to 20 ft/lbs, and the one I tried to go further, feels like its pulling the threads out of the block.
Anyone done this on these outboards? I'm really feeling like 20 ft/lbs is more than plenty.
