Evinrude 1987 140 v4 Rebuild

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.

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

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 ?

Crank from ebay not cleaned.

Nice and clean

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.
