Went and looked at a couple of motors a guy had. Ran compression on them.Wound up buying the 5.5 1960 Johnson for 60 frosties and rebuilt the carb. She runs but haven't water tested yet.
To the question. He has a 70's 6 HP Rude that had 30# on the top cyl and 0 on the bottom. Talked to the local Marine guy and he said they are know for blowing the head gaskets,not smoking pistons and he'd put a bet that was the deal with this one.
Anyone else familar with this as a common problem? If so I'll grab that motor too for the same price and repair it. Thanks
