Water getting into number four engine cylinder

Remove cylinder head.----Inspect gasket.----Resurface head before installing new gasket.

We have does this, still getting water in cylinder. We also remove & replace exhaust bubble plate gaskets & pulled power head & replaced gasket there also. Still water in cylinder???

Did you resurface the head? What are your compression numbers.

 

[Hammer 1]

Head was surface. Compression @ 100psi. On all cylinders. About three spins of engine with starter.

could be just a leaking head cover gasket around the plug.

 

[racerone]

Leaking head cover gasket would not allow water to go into a cylinder.

We are putting another head on , rechecking exhaust plate gasket. In a few days we'll if that has fixed it. Refurbished head & surfaced also. Thanks for input

Keep us posted.

Still leaking water inside number 4 cylinder, & got hot buzzer sounded off. Head was checked before installed. ????

 

[racerone]

Did you replace water pump impeller ?------Perhaps the lower crankshaft seal is leaking.

 

[Hammer 1]

We did and could be the crankshaft seal?? Water is sort of white in color. Does that make sense? Thanks

 

[Hammer 1]

Would lower crankshaft seal let water into number four cylinder on a Johnson 85hp engine????

 

[Hammer 1]

Need input on question number 14. Thanks

 

[Crosbyman]

check PM enveloppe

 

[stresspoint]

no , it would let water into the crankcase , pull the head and check for a split bore.

 

[racerone]

A missing bearing retainer bolt would allow water to get to #4 cylinder.----A bad lower crank seal would allow water to get into the #4 cylinder too !!

Have done. And checked for any sign of damage. Thanks

Replaced the gasket there & noticed water milky looking film there but didn't think nothing about it. Going to get seal & gasket & replace again??? Thanks
