I replaced powerhead gasket and when torguing down bolts I broke one. Will be OK to run engine like that. I assume it will blow gasket at that position.
1983 evinrude 35hp. It the one point to or the one above marked 2. It raining right now so I can't verify at the moment.What motor ?-----What bolt position ?-----Pictures would help.
Yes l'm pointing to to head boltIt looks like you are pointing at a Cylinder Head Bolt. If that is the case, then you must replace it. If you are pointing at some other bolt, provide a better Pic, even if you have to wait till the rain quits
What did you tork the bolts to?I would also like to know how to pull the powerhead out. It will need to be in order to drill out the bolt if necessary. I see two bots inside the cowling holding the powerhead, are there bolts below also? Does the lower unit need to be removed? I have a manual but don't see anything about this
I'm hoping that's the case.What did you tork the bolts to?
If it broke next to the head than when you pull the head off you should have a stub you can grab and spin it out.
I torqued them to 10 ft lbs, then 15...and was trying to go to 20. None got to 20 and after I broke one I stopped. I wish I had bought new bolts, but the were like $9 each on boats dot net. I should have gone to a bolts supplier.I'm hoping that's the case.
Well, you did it correctly.I torqued them to 10 ft lbs, then 15...and was trying to go to 20. None got to 20 and after I broke one I stopped. I wish I had bought new bolts, but the were like $9 each on boats dot net. I should have gone to a bolts supplier.
