After 4 months of learning how to tear down and check every part of this motor to make sure all is good, I am now ready to build it. I've had to replace the cylinder block and find new standard size pistons & rings, took a while to find them.
I now have all the gasket surfaces clean and ready to put this old girl together. I see a huge array of gasket sealants on the market. What is the best sealant to use on the port gaskets, recirc and carb reed gaskets? I know the stuff I had to clean off was extremely difficult to get off but with lots of elbow grease and a few choice words it all finally came off. Unless I miss my guess, this is what I want from the sealant I will use, whatever it will be.
Any suggestions? Also, any helpful tips for a first time outboard builder would be great and appreciated.
