Mercury 1994 2.0L 150

**Glastron1987** · 02-03-2019, 01:01 PM

Finally getting back to some progress on this. Got the newer style mid-section with the rubber hose for the exhaust relief all set. Torqued down the new solid mounts. Ready to put the top (exhaust) plate on. Two questions:

1) Besides the gasket is the any sealant or anything else to apply under that (between the two plates)?
2) Any torque specs on the 5 bolts that hold it down? I couldn't find any.

Gasket goes on dry but solid mount have tendacy to leak around mount , I used little sealer around mounts to stop a leak but that's it

On bolts just use German torque spec. Gud n tite

Is there a cheaper alternative to Perfect Seal? Looks like about $20-$25 for a bottle.

Excellent catch. Thank you. Rod is in, but will add linkage (and gasket).

Are you referring to just the shift rod or do I need to add some more linkage at this point. Rod is in so I think that is enough ?

It's the rod/linkage that hooks to slide on motor , ur gud,

Lots a folks get caught up in moment swapping ph, they 4get that little part that works lower lol

Glad I found this thread. I also have a 1994 2.0 that I am selling. One blown cylinder. But I'll be following along and if mine doesn't sell, I guess I have a new project...

I have forgotten the shift rod once before. Wasn't the best feeling.

what "most" do and never admit to it (me almost every time when I was doin' this crap) forget to disconnect tha slide linkage from tha anchor bracket when pullin' tha power head.....
