    Re: Gear Case Group Johnson 58 10 Hp QD-19 Seals Okay, but it is a little late. Given the age of the motor and not knowing what was done past till present, I wanted to be sure that the lower end was in good condition. I now know how the upper is and was ready to take it to the next step. So now...

    1958 Johnson Seahorse 10 HP QD - 19

    Re: 1958 Johnson Seahorse 10 HP QD - 19 Pulled the head today, didn't see any real signs of blown gasket. The cylinder walls have lines I can see but can't feel so I think that is good. Tops of the pistons are blackish but no sign of crack or holes. Not real good pictures. How about worn out rings?

The motor started and ran ok at idle but not much in the way of power. I looked at the plugs and they...
