Kristof: I don't know if this will help in your situation, however for what it may be worth.... You mentioned corrosion around the water channels. I owned an outboard business on the Florida Gulf Coast for years. We often had big outboards come into the shop which had been used only in salt water for 20 years with no flushing. Sometimes a big V-6 would come in with a blown head gasket and we would find salt corrosion had eaten away the sealing surface between the water jacket and the cylinder wall casting - that there was basically nothing left except the top edge of the sleeve itself for a sealing surface against the head (the aluminum portion was erroded away). We would clean up the area, mix up some two part epoxy, and apply the epoxy to the erroded area as we installed the head gasket and cylinder head. The only alternative was to junk the block, or the entire outboard motor. I never saw an instance in 7 years where that fix did not work and hold well, even under compression readings of 125-140 psi. The epoxy we used was made for OMC/Bombardier for gluing the magneto magnets inside flywheels, so it was heat resistant. But I would imagine JB Weld would work about as well. mike durhan
