Well, not quite…#6 is above #8. The slot is actually in the exhaust housing itself. So, #8 roll pin has to be lined up with the slot in the exhaust housing cup which is just below the roll pin.
Like I say, forcing the roll pin past the exhaust housing cup when it is not properly aligned will probably just shear the ends off the roll pin. No big deal. Again, I am hoping this is all that is wrong, and am assuming that the gearcase has been pulled down from the exhaust housing just a bit, so the roll pin is jamming on the exhaust housing cup when he tried to rotate the flywheel.
At this point, it is probably best to simply remove the powerhead, but I don’t want to introduce more problems by stuck powerhead screws breaking off.
