That white t-stat housing I'm betting was the cause of the failure. OMC changed out those white housings to a black housing in 87-88 due to problems with the white ones sticking and overheating. That engine looks to be LOOSE to say the least from the looks of the lower cylinder. Personally I would reccomend finding a good used engine Vs rebuilding that one. Speaking from experience, the 85 is a nightmare to try and get to run decent, and it will always be on the ragged edge of living unless you do ALOT of upgrades to it. 85 is a one year only set-up, and tthey just aren't really feasable to keep alive. Look for an 88+ 140 to replace it with.
