[QUOTE="Zberry1985, post: 474339, member: 25580"] i was told that the motor i picked up has a small hole in the block somewhere but i haven't been able to locate it from the outside, i was told that it was leaking water. i picked up this motor to use as a parts motor(electrical) for another motor and now that i have the other one working i figured i got time to see if i can get this one working. 1982 40hp sn# 6053095 maybe first step should be hook it up to water and see what happens? i guess i could've done that before writing this post but i just thought of it. any advice for the best plan of attack for taking the motor apart and looking for the hole? is there a common place for holes to form on these motors assuming that it didn't throw a rod? i'm thinking 1 remove power head, 2 exhaust baffle cover, 3 cylinder cover. i've got an experienced aluminum welder for help so not worried about that.
