Hi everyone,
I am in the process of waking up a 1960 Johnson 5.5HP seahorse that has been sitting for 20 years.
My small bore hole light arrived so I took a look inside the cylinder. The walls look fine but the top of the pistons are covered in carbon. (crusty looking)
Should I take the head gasket off and clean them up? If so, is there a best practice for how to clean them?
Thanks!
Russ
