| From what I could tell that manual looks correct. It will help a lot and what that doesn't cover I or someone can fill in the blanks or go into more detail.
What I think I would do is take a compression test first I would guess it should show about 125 psi give to take 15psi but they must all be within 10% of each other. I think you can pick one up for about $25. Then you will know where to go from there.
If the internal components of the engine are damaged you will need to lift the powerhead off the midsection, but if the headgasket is blown it cab be repaired by just removing the head.
There is a good posibility that no damage occured and it was just steem that you saw out the tell tale. A compression test is your next step and it can be done without the gearcase on. |
