I think the reference to honey was misinterpreted.

I've never used it, but it looks great. Thanks for the video, straight and to the point. I say you did good.

The last few weekends have been occupied with kid's events, so I couldn't do much to Frankenstein. I got busy this evening after work. I was able to remove the power head, as well as the lower unit. Tomorrow I will install the replacement power head, clean and rebuild the carburetor and the fuel pum, as well as replacing the impeller and housing. Gonna order the forgotten thermostat, then he should be ready to run strong.

Well, if the fishing is no good, we will eat good, and tell stories. Still a while out.

That's quite an adventure. Very cool.

@Phil Lilley Here is the most updated list. Per the recent comments @Terrierman and @fmcbrandon will be attending with 2 sons. @Ryan Miloshewski and Steinman are still deciding.

Just want to remind everyone, there are open spots or come down for a day. We eat good. We'll feed ya. I've got a good Stromboli recipe that I plan to make. I'll have to figure out a veggie option for DJ. I've got.some appetizer type recipes that I wanna try making as well.

Yes.

I am not seeing any timing indicators.

I am not sure on the ignition timing indicator. Not sure how to tell to be honest. I've set timing on older v8 engines plenty. What am I looking for? Is TDC measured by the top or bottom piston?

Holy cow, man. I'm so sorry to hear and see that. I'm glad you seemed to be in good spirits about it. That's quite a bit of damage, and I hope you get full recovery. I'm sure we will learn about that in following chapters.

Frankenstein's replacement heart is ready for transplant. I've acquired the proper removal kit. It's new in packaging. Any tips tricks or things I need to be considering before or during the swap? Any worries with proper torque settings?

Sounds like a wonderful trip. The last sentence says it all.

I have a buddy that I went to school with. He's a distributor up in Chicago. He sells them there in multiple stores.

I agree. It does bother me that we no longer have "oldies" stations to play songs like these. Not calling anyone's generation of music old. Just that was the genre.

Hopefully so.

I don't talk much about it. But as a kid 4 to 12 years old I wanted to be a scientist (chemist). Because on TV they would just mix random things and see what happened. That was it. Sounded like a job for me. Then came high school chemistry class. We spent what I believed was too much time researching and documenting what should happen, as well as safety protocols, and not nearly enough time making small explosions. I quickly changed my desire from becoming a chemist to become a marine biologist. I planned to join the Navy and onto college. Long story short, it didn't happen.

Update. I bought a used power head from ebay. I bought an Evinrude/Johnson flywheel removing kit as well. I really like the name Frankenstein, and wanted to bring him to life. Now to beef up my transom.

I appreciate the info. Frankenstein isn't worth all that to me. It was a gamble, luckily not too much was paid. The search shall continue.

Well, upon removal of the head, I found bad news. I can feel the scoring on the cylinder wall. Off to YouTube, I want to see what I may be getting into. Interestingly, when removing the housing for the thermostat, there were 3 10mm and the rest were 11mm bolts. But for the cover over the head, they were 1/2" bolts.

It's an ad for Marijuana. I suspect it's a robot account.

We really need rain in the East as well. But 3" in a couple days is alot, 6-10" maybe too much for the soil to accept. It creates flash flooding and instant erosion.

Videos seem to be quality. Well done to you both.

I appreciate the heads up on the puller. I have multiple 3 jaw pullers as well as a steering wheel puller that looks similar. But I'll definitely need your warning. I should have a few hours tomorrow to remove the head gasket and inspect. *heed your warning. I need to start proof reading.
