Evinrude 1987 140 v4 Rebuild

[nymack66]

Previously I have posted the failure of my power head and have since replace it with a rebuild which by the way is working great.
I traded two older motors at the time with PowerHead Exchange out of Tampa and kept my blown power-head with this project in mind.
I will start rebuilding/assembly it from prop up. Trust me this is going to be long term project or if the 49ers sucks on Sundays then it will progress faster.
The objective is to apply what I have learned and hopefully own a engine I can be proud of, I have done my home work in regards to acquiring the parts and everything plus sum for this project.
This weekend I hit jackpot with an identical year/make/model motor minus power head (blown) it is in very good condition.
I will post as I go along so far the power head was in a machine shop hone and corrected a single out of round cylinder. All cylinders are bored .30 over.
I will be experimenting with soda/media blasting starting with the Block and the rest of the parts, I opt out the acid bath method since I will still need to clean the rest of the parts for painting.
I am open for ideas on the painting and colors for both engine, LU, and cowling's.
If I bore anyone to death please pardon me, this for me personally it is a challenge whilst I know I am not re-inventing the wheel I am excited for now who knows down the road ?
Here she is all blown up!

Wish me luck..

I wish I had the time, I would rebuild my Evinrude 150.

Keep this thread going, maybe it will inspire me to shift my priorities.

[nipper]

Good luck NYMack. As far as painting and colors, I would go with with the original 1987 color scheme and cowling stickers.

I will be happy to help you, Let me know what you need and we go from there maybe the parts are interchangeable in that case I have plenty of spares ..

[THEFERMANATOR]

Definately get that block decked. I can see where it would blow out a head gasket on 1 & 3. Carbs will be the critical part of any rebuild as they seem to cause most powerheads to fail.

Can you explain to me please what to look for when you say decked ? The Block was worked on by a Machine shop and told me its good to go..I had concerns about the pitting around the sleeves close to the gasket area ? I will never second guess your words of wisdom..
Thanks Ferm

[Skools Out]

decked means where the heads bolt on have the block and cylinders cut down to get a better surface for the head gaskets to seal too. with your heads shaved it will run hot and plus eat starters due to raised compression. may be really hard to start when motor is warm due to the starter may not be able to turn over the motor. they do make a cylinder repair ring where you cut down the out block casting on the cylinder sleeves and you insert these rings so that your head gaskets will seal correctly. but you need new or good used heads. sell those to some poor other boater with low compression worn motor.

Thanks for the explanation, I do have two heads not shaved so I will use those and sell the shaved ones, in regards to the rings you mentioned do you know where I can find it ? This is the only part that have me nervous and both you and Ferm the pros jumped on it I love it ..You Guys do know your stuff thanks for all the help. There is a Guy with 2 nice clean power heads both big bore bummer since I do NOT have parts for a big bore ..

[THEFERMANATOR]

That pitting around the sleeves on #1 and #3 can cause head gaskets to blow out like no tommorrow. When I say decked I prefer the method where they use the big sheet of sandpaper on a granite top. This way you only take off what is needed, most of the time it's less than .002 thousandths to clean one up this way. And the V-4 loopers have REALLY high compression to begin with, roughly 140-145 on a good healthy one. Mine pops off at 155 and it is a B!TCH to start up, it takes 2 good batteries to kick it over with 2 guage battery cables. But it will SCREAM on the top end:party:. Like I said earlier though, the carbs will drive you nuts most likely. Most everybody I've talked to has had problems after building one of these V-4 loopers and had to re-jet the carbs to fatten em up on the main and intermediate, but lean it out at idle.

[randlemanboater]

Good luck on the project.

[spareparts]

OMC used to offer a thicker than standard head gasket for some of their motors for comercial use or when using lower octane fuel, I don't know if they are still available, but it would be what you need after decking the block.

[willy]

good for you Mack, I would love to have the time and smarts to do that. Good luck and I hope it goes well for you. At the very least you will have learned a lot more than most of us will have ever learned.

[nymack66]

Thanks for the advise and the words of encouragements, You Guy's hit exactly on two issues I was having second thoughts about, one I can easily address just use the new heads I have, the other in regards to the corrosion around the sleeves???

My plans for now is to dissemble the LU and Mid only to the point where I will get to the critical bolts to make sure they are all in removable condition for future access etc, I don't want surprises later on.
It will also allow me to replace the impeller and inspect the water pump area not to mentioned drain the LU oil and inspection for contamination or metal shavings.
I will not use the tilt and trim off this motor, since I have one in immaculate condition with new motor, the one on here shows some corrosion.
I have since loosen the bolts on the mid and LU for soda blasting, I was soaking the bolts with PB Blaster since Sunday they are all loosen up now for removal, my tree shade mechanic last year worked on my old LU broke a number of bolts. See it pays to do this crap yourself.
Rocking the bolts back and forth never force it or make them overheat trust me they were tough removing but I score :)
Tip:
Be sure NEVER to have the PB blaster come in contact with any rubber example the end caps of the tilt and trim it will ruin the seals.
The installation of these bolts I will coat each one with High Temp Gasket Sealer so they can never freeze up, grease will not work here. One big word Electrolysis one simple fix! I have tried this on my propeller shaft and inspected it after a year slid off like poop out a goose.
Sorry the high resolution photos may shift the view off I will re-adjust the camera next time
Photos of Mid/LU
Notice the paint job ? Not good at all painted over the sealant and all.

Ooh, you got one of them rare to find 25" ones that isn't rotted out yet. I've been looking for one of them for awhile now but they are all rotted out that I have found.

[willy]

What do you mean rotted out, from the inside Ferm, the lower unit rots from the inside?

[nymack66]

Oh trust me I have been looking for while, I was just about to give up when I saw this ad on Craigslist
"Parting out a 1987 Evinrude 140 Looper (E140TXCUA).
Starter, carbs, electrical parts, crank, complete mid & lower unit with working PTT and transom bracket, OMC side control with wire harness and new 18***8217; control cables, OMC OEM factory manual, cowl & mid cowl, plus much more"
Guy told me he is parting out a good motor (blown power head) I negotiate him down to 400.00 and snag it on Black Friday.
I now own the only two models 140 v4 Evinrude made in 87 the 25" and 20" looks like I be stuck in the 80's for a while :)

[THEFERMANATOR]

The steering arms are made of regular steel and are known to rust so badly that they will break off, I believe STINK had this happen to him on one. Also just trying to find a 25" leg V-4 140 looper is difficult in and of itself, let alone one that looks clean without massive corrosion on it. The hardest one to find though is the 85 25" leg 140, they have a special exhaust tuner in them that you can't buy anymore. They make HUGE power on the top end, but suck below 3800. My 140 has the 85 tuner in it and it runs it's best at the 6100 redline(86+ went to a 6700 limiter). I bought one here awhile back and when it showed up I was less than thrilled with this supposed freshwater mid section. If you want to get rid of that mid NYMACK, let me know. I'd love to be able to put my 140 on my HYDRA-SPORTS to save some on fuel, but it is currently a 20" shaft.

[nymack66]

Guys,
Below is a thought process I read on another blog strong believer in it.
"Having to rebuild a engine is fixing the symptoms of a failure, so one MUST find the reason for the failure and fix it, if not plan on fixing again"

With that said I will post the various things I find along the way some Evinrude CSI work :) if you will.

I may or may not find it or should be too concern because the baby will be built with care and love with a fine tooth comb, any future failure is mine to own, the buck stops here with me.

At the time of purchase the previous owner give me and I quote "Here is new set of plugs for the engine"
Trouble is this kind of plugs does NOT match the Evinrude plug recommend charts?
QL77YC
Funny I found on the Internet this plug matches a Mercury motor, which I saw in his yard mounted on 18' CC Wellcraft.
I also observe some scaring on the connecting rod journal on the #3 cylinder ?
Idle jets were jetted up .20 (Factory is .16) I did not check high speed as yet they should be .64 stock

For you ? One word Absolutely!
I have a 20" on the V currently and I did cut down the transom as you remember during the rebuild for the current motor, the 25 " is perfect for you and your 20" floats my boat...

[bigshrimpin]

I didn't know that the v4's had the Bridgeport exhaust too in 86/87. Very cool motor . . . Even the rod slots look nice on that block . . . is that stock or did someone clean them up?

Honest answer I do not know, I wish the Guy I purchase the MID/LU kept the damage Block I was looking forward to use it as a benchmark since the history of my power head is not known. Per the machine shop its stock, but then again he told me the block did not need decking!

[THEFERMANATOR]

All of the V4 loopers have the bridgeport exhaust IIRC, the V-6's are the ones that changed in 88 and then in 92 added the finger ports. The only real change in the V-4's was in 88 going to larger 3.625 bore from the 3.5" bore of earlier years. And remember NYMACK, I'm not that far away and I have a pretty intimate knowledge of the V-4 loopers.

Thanks for the offer, I will let you know if I hit a wall , Did you see my answer in regards to the swap? Let me know if not I will proceed to rip it apart for blasting this weekend, I am very constructive/destructive on the weekend when I am not on call at work..

Ferm my offer still good if not I found a guy with two 25" for sale in Winter Haven

[Skools Out]

i have a pair of 1990 good 140 counters motors with 25" midsections i bought from BR yrs ago. mine have the 35 amp charging upgrade plus the larger V6 size foot.

[THEFERMANATOR]

I'm gonna have to hold off right now. I would really like to get it, but the wife is wanting a bigger boat now. She wants one where she doesn't have to sit on a bucket to go to the bathroom.

[parishht]

Dam FERM, I wish my wife would say that, I usually get "you are always buying something for that boat and not the house"

Anyone with blasting experience ? Will this El Cheapo work ?

[nymack66]

I am not going to use the the Crank from my old power head since it clearly shows a flaw on one of the journals.
I purchase a replacement crank from Ebay not knowing I will pick up an entire engine so I now have two crank on going back on Ebay.
I have since clean up my crank and lube it with 2 stroke oil and wrap it in plastic until I am ready for it.
Here are the before and after photos (crank inserted on the mid-section during the clean up)
Old crank now obsolete see #3 ?

Let me know if I am boring you Guys with this rebuild..

[bradford]

Keep the posts coming NY, Very informative.

[nymack66]

The entire MID,LU,T&T is off to the media blasting shop.

[nipper]

These posts are not boring us at all. They do, however, make me feel inadequate. I could not even begin to do the stuff you are doing to the motor. Nice work.

[nymack66]

Some updates, I successfully have the motor completely in pieces, I was going to experiment with the Media/Soda blasting myself. I did not it a messy job period, I dropped the parts off to shop last week, decided to use a new shop because of a cheaper price, huge mistake the new shop did not do a professional job period. I will never use him again.
I will post pictures clearly showing the paint he miss, parts not cleaned properly.
I will have to finish the job myself, the rest of the parts are off to my previously used shop which I am very happy using in the past, but a little more expensive. Cheaper is not always better I guess ...
I am educating myself on primers and paints and found a wonderful web site which in my opinion is very intuitive for a rookie like me. http://www.supermarinepaint.com

[THEFERMANATOR]

Just remember to use a ZINC CHROMATE or ZINCROM(the green colored stuff) etching primer on the lower unit and mid section, or anything in direct saltwater contact. The etching primer will help the paint adhere MUCh better than most any other primer can. And do not get it inside of the lower unit where the oil is or in the crankcase. It is an excellent primer, but oil will take it right off. I used it on a propshaft support before and got it on the inside portion of it and fluid turned to milk after just a few days. The primer came off and emulsified in the gear oil. Flushed it out and all was well afterwards. I figure if the stuff is good enough for aviation and is mandated by the FAA, then it must be good enough for a boat.

[nymack66]

Thanks Ferm..

[nymack66]

Media Blasting I paid for sucks! I will clean up all the parts myself so much for me being lazy, no luck paying to get stuff done I guess.
I shot the cowling and lower pans last weekend with INTERLUX Brightside One-Part Polyurethane with Teflon from West Marine.
One amazing paint in my opinion, so good I will mount this on my Boat and pull the ones on my running engine.
I will post pictures later as I progress along. I took a self impose break from all this stuff and planted a garden which was no fun but relaxing.

[nymack66]

I found a replacement power head (1/2) on Ebay minus all the corrosion show previously here are the new photos of the power assembled with all sorts of old bolts to protect the treads, Its now in my original media blasting shop then I will have each cylinder honed.
As for the MID and LU they are all zinc primed ready to paint.

That is coming out nice! My 1987 140 has had everything rebuilt also. Makes it interesting to get parts. Everything under the cowling is a 1994...so you have to be creative buying parts. The only thing I needed to change was a rectifier, which e-bay helped also. Keep the photos coming.

[Skools Out]

clean the paint out of the reed holes and off the upper main bearing or you'll have issues. never paint fuel passages the fuel breaks down the paint and then the paint gums up the cylinders on 2 strokes and can result in burnt pistons. clean the intake inside where you got paint in it.

Thanks very good point ..I will use some acetone and wipe it off ..

[THEFERMANATOR]

Also if you redo the lower don't get any paint inside where oil is at or else it will come off as well.

Will do Ferm ..

Lookin good!!!:clap:

[nymack66]

Oh well the hot days of summer are over, I am back working on this engine.
I have since fill in the holes the previous owner drilled on the lower unit, I filled it with JB weld and sanded it down, zinc applied and this weekend is painting time.
I will have the entire MID & LU painted and fully assembled by next weekend. It was way to hot for me to work on this engine in the summer, the excuse is now over back to work.
Holes shown

Oh well technical difficulties, the bloody paint refuses to dry, hopefully it cures in a couple of days. I may have laid it on too thick?
I could have sworn I did it correctly per instructions, low humidity nice 80 plus degrees..Who knows technical support promise me it will cure over a couple of days...
Sure self levels as promise ...

[RidgeRunner]

Looks like a new one to me. I need to get to the Merc and do the same thing. My cowl needs help. Last time it was painted by previous owner they painted over the decals. They painted over the barnacles on the mid and lower too. No sanding, no filler, no joke a really crappy job. But they purchased the really expensive automotive paint, I just don't get why they didn't spend an hour to prep it right. Keep up the good work NYMACK.

[nymack66]

Thanks for the kind words Ridge, Its Official my rookie mistake cost me time and money. I have all the parts back into the media blasting shop. This paint turns out to be a lot of bologna after all. I am mad at myself for NOT painting one part first and test, with that said, who ever dream a paint will NOT dry?

Thanks Skools its exactly what I was thinking, I felt like just got carried away with the paint thing. Your results are amazing. I will do as you recommend. Hopefully mine looks as nice !!
I will have to zinc prime again and shoot ....

[THEFERMANATOR]

The only drawback to engine paint is that it doesn't have alot of UV resistance to it. I've done a few with it, and after a year or 2 it was fading pretty noticeably. I've had real good luck with the TEMPO engine paint that most marine stores carry though. If you do use engine paint, shoot some clear over it to help it with the sunlight fading.

[Skools Out]

here's a 140 i changed to Evinrude in color

i did paint the inside in white to make it easier to find leaks

If you want to colors i found in spray cans at Advance Auto to do Evinrude blue let me know i have the cans so i could have the paint codes.

[Skools Out]

oh yeah did you notice the cans of clear in the bag i cleared that motor 4 coats and it had 6 coats of white. the Evinrude was a base dark blue with a met. blue over it then cleared. it was marked 120 for 2 reasons the motor was a Johnson 140 and i have a 120 Evinrude with no use so i used the hood lettering plus the boat was rated for only 135 hp lol.

[nymack66]

Thanks Guy's I will check Advance Auto, I must admit I like the way the Blue looks on the 120 ..Nice work ..

[nymack66]

Here is an interesting spin ..I phone there technical support, which recommend I read the "manufacture" instructions.
Here is what I found just added..I know this because I NEVER saw this posted before! I will give it a shot again as test run. I bet I violated the WFT the reason its not drying.

Finish Coats: Fiberglass, Aluminum & Steel: Professionally applied spray coat applications yield superior results, however Revolution levels exceptionally well in brush and roll applications. Unless you are experienced with spray equipment the best way for the do it yourselfer is to apply Revolution is by roller coat. When properly thinned in appropriate temperatures (SM-101 Thinner 15%-25%) Revolution levels exceptionally well. It had a good defoamer “bubble popping additive” so the need for tipping is eliminated. Aside from spraying, which offers the best film thickness control, rolling is often the best way to achieve the recommended wet film thickness, 2 mils WFT (Wet Film Thickness). The recommended DFT is 3.4 mils. Applications applied too thickly may not adhere or level properly, run, sag and take days, or even weeks to cure. Always adhere to the manufacturers recommended WFT and DFT (Dry Film Thickness)!

Revolution must always be stirred or shaken thoroughly before use. It may be brushed, rolled or sprayed utilizing conventional and HVLP spray equipment. The solid content is exceptionally high so thinning will be necessary in most applications. The amount of thinner required will vary depending on ambient temperature, type of equipment used, method of application, humidity, color and amount of control desired and tip size in spray applications. We suggest beginning with minimum dilution at first and increasing dilution as needed subject to your individual application requirements.

Revolution may be built up to achieve a higher DFT where desired. Two, three or more thin coats are acceptable to achieve the recommended DFT. Boot and bottom stripes should always be applied over top of the recommended DFT. For best results recoat within 24-48 hours or sand between applications. Allow top coat film to cure thoroughly before allowing it to enter full service duty. The recommended minimum cure time is 7 days under most conditions. DO NOT allow newly applied paint to get wet for a minimum of 48 hours. The dry cured film may be wet sanded and buffed to remove runs and blemishes.

[nymack66]

Moving along beyond painting. Here is where I am at the moment. I will have the cylinders hone, rods check at the machine shop.
Notice the scratches and miss spots on the paint? I will do final shoot this weekend. I have to clean up all the excessive grease off the bolts heads during the assembly process.
I ran taps through all the treads after the media blasting.
I am working on the Cowling and lower pans this weekend.
Some pictures ....

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz142/nymack66/1987%20140v4%20Rebuild/Cowling/IMG_0085.jpg

[THEFERMANATOR]

Don't worry about getting paint down inside of the exhaust ports as it won't hurt it. I would clean up the driveshaft though as paint build up there can cause problems later on as well as clean off the surface where the powerhead bolts down as I've seen em leak there as well.

[nymack66]

Will do Ferm thanks

[nymack66]

Anyone knows the reason for the foam under the cowling? Is it just insulation or is there more to it?
I personally remove it completely because it was all falling apart, my thought process is this loose foam will clog my carbs since there is no air filter!
I was thinking to re-lined it using AC heat shield stuff found at Lowes? or should I run her naked like my current motor?
Pictures of the foam removed, I will sand her down and paint it this weekend..

[Blue_Runner]

Doing a good job there mack. I think the cowling insulation is just noise reduction but I may be wrong. I'm sure there's no less than 100 different materials you could use to accomplish replacing it.....then there's always the option not replacing it too!

I would love to tear one down and build from the ground up like that. You'll be the resident expert when done. We're going to start asssociating you with hall of famers like Skools, Ferm and Spare. :party:

[RidgeRunner]

Just for noise control, some have it, some don't. The insulation is gone on my 90 Johnson and the Merc too. You are right to be concerned about sucking the foam thru the carbs. Happened to a bassin friend of mine. Some of the foam pieces got hung in the reeds on his 225 EFI.
You are actually gonna paint the inside of the cowl? I thought I was anal... :haha: Keep up the good work. :party:

I know the picture does not show it, but the fiberglass is loose on the inside kind dusty, painting it will laminate it and minimize the dusting of the engine during operation.
This was an experience I found out on my current running engine, I remove the cowling and observe loose dust all over my engine, this was when I found the loose foam, I removed it and paint it...Looks excellent the last time I checked ...

[nymack66]

Some updates, I took the V out yesterday awesome weather here in Fl ..Love it ..
I worked on the Cowling sanding and cleaning, Just before I shoot it I will wash it down with Acetone.

Some more Engine porn. I now have the Block in the shop getting honed. Any recommendations on re-build kits anyone? I have seen some on Ebay or I may go with http://www.powerheadexchange.com/ they sold me my re-build power-head which is on my Boat.

There just south of Tampa Bay in Palmetto and supply the parts in most all of teh rebuild kits out there. I'm not a big fan of there pistons in a performance app, but stock they are as good or better than OEM. GLM or MSM make really nice coated cast pistons if you want to spend teh extra money.
