Reply To: Compression for 58 Johnson 10 hp?

[cron78]

Gear oil came out 90% green and clear (don’t know what brand, the Yamalube and Johnson gearcase lube I have are both clear amber) but there was a bit of cloudy medium brown that drained at first from the bottom.  Should I be alarmed?

Neither drain screw has a gasket.  The Marineengine.com diagram for the 58s seems to show gasket(s) for the drain plug(s) but the catalog list doesn’t list either.  Do I trust the drain port machining or should I add gaskets?  If so, what gaskets?

Thx
