Ran it for about 9 months/20 hours after rebuild and sold it to a mate as it was very underpowered with 3 blokes in the boat and gear! Got a bigger outboard! Its on my mates 4meter river boat up the murray, still kicking! I wouldnt even bother trying to rig up some conconction! Jut put it back on and tun it up, make sure its torqued up properly, my yamaha had torque settings on head and jackets plus in manual as well! If you know how to use a torrent site, you can download all old johnson/evinrude manuals from there! Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Good luck mate, same thing happened on my old yamaha, replaced head gasket for 150 bucks! If your gonna replace that, may as well replace water jacket gaskets and clean out the water jacket as well, get rid of anny build up of salt over the years, no matter how much you flush em, you will get some in there, and once its gone, you will notice a massive difference in water flow from your tell tale! Have fun mate! Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
