1985 Evinrude 70HP outboard gets a head gasket

Watch as I tackle this head gasket on this 1985 Evinrude 70HP Outboard. Found out why she was leaking…..

My '85 70hp did not spit either... so I did what you did and unclogged it... good to go!! Thanks from SC.

I just got an Evinrude 70. Owner said it was running fine, then it wasn't. Gonna check head and water flow. Maybe fuel pump and filter? Looks like a good motor

What's the update on the boat?

[@robertsheeley8619]

Nice job

[@robertsheeley8619]

If you ever do that again remove the bolt and latch for the hood latch and I know my 3/8” drive torque wrench fits rot in there on that bottom right head bolt. 19 ft lbs., 228 in lbs.

Thank you. Noted.

I couldn’t tell if that’s a snap on impact or Bauer. If Bauer, how is it?

[@bigred84]

Milwaukee. Love them. Have several

I was close. My dad was from Monroe city Missouri and when visiting as a kid from Seattle he said we will drive over the bridge from Hannibal to Illinois just so you can get a pennant at the gift shop. Only time I set foot there😆
