Re: Fifties 7 1/2 OMC

I keep harping on the subject of those tossed rods on 5.5 and 7.5hp motors. I submit that most of them are caused by water entry through the lower main bearing due to people ignoring the carbon seal when they do powerhead removal and reinstallation. It takes the water awhile to do it’s nasty deed, but it will with time. Then people look at the damage and swear that it was caused by lack of oil. JMHO
