You may bought it as an early 80`s motor and it still can be. You never know what parts have been changed through the years. The serial number you provided LA sleeve could have been 85-87. The humped exaust cover can be from a 235hp or the later 175 X-flow when OMC was plating around with hp numbers. So you see you can both be right.

Another suggestion is to run synthetic oil and champion spark plugs both of these made a diff in mine!
