Yep, that’s right. chunks of rubber. When it showed up in the thermostat housing, I figured either I found the problem, or smoked the new impeller. Still don’t know which, I have to get a few extra minutes to drop the lower unit. The plug issue isn’t actually an insert, like a helicoil. It’s more like a sleeve that threads on the plug itself. I’ve never seen it before, I’ve seen helicoil but not this. It’s not loose, I tried to get it off. No way. The plug goes in and tightens up just like you would want. Is there an issue using a Johnson 40hp (1960) head? I have one off a 35hp Johnson but it’s been heli-coiled. I think the 40 hp is good, look like it would fit, but would it create any other issues? Thanks for all the help. You guys are a fantastic help to those of us trying to figure these out a little. The collective knowledge on here is amazing. I for one really do appreciate it.
