Default finally seized 150 engine is no more

well i got that 85 Johnson seized 150 engine torn apart. i had to cut off the exhaust housing with a cutting wheel to separate it from the block. i split the case and removed the pistons and rods. i enclosed a few pictures. i didn't think a seized engine would come apart so easily.

I've seen several engines that people thought the power head was locked up on but turned out to be a locked up lower unit. Just something to check.

no, i had separated the lower unit early in the project, i almost stripped the flywheel trying to turn it. then all the midsection bolts the attached to block either snapped or just turn. i had it hanging upside down for a while, spraying the bolts with pb blaster and applying some heat. all with no luck. finally last week i took a cutting wheel to the midsection. and separated it from the block i still have the lower unit intact. Probably take it to a shop and get an option on the block. will send pictures soon,

I think MJ had a Mercury like that, wouldn't separate.

It was a 225 EVINRUDE. I remember because it was one I found on Ebay for him in south Florida.
