. I was trying to tune my motor a few weeks ago which it is a 1989 50 horsepower. I have a couple of questions to ask. I noticed water leaking out of the lower spark plug hole. I pulled the head gasket today and it didnt look like it was bad.
1. Can a head gasket be reused?
2. Could water be getting in through the exhaust gaskets?
3. I looked in my manuel and the torgue specs were 270 inch pounds is that right?
4. How do i clean the water passages?
Sorry this long just lots of questions that im not sure of.

1. Do not reuse the head gasket. Get a new one.
2. I am not sure about the water getting in through the exhaust ports.
3. 270 inch pounds sounds about right. That converts to about 22.5 foot pounds.
4. Put a set of muffs on it and run it with fresh water.
