if it did not go for swin just soak the cyl a few days and pull the cyl. head..

alternately bash the cyl. with sharp firm blows with a wood peg and hammer . go slow be patient resoak bash again. ….go slow be patient resoak bash again. ….

it may loosen up and be a perfectly good engine.

find another PH for the 58 🙂

The ’59 internals might be the same as the ’58 but the cyl. head lacks the posts for the rubber bumpers for the ’58 hood. And you can’t swap heads because the ’58 doesn’t have a thermostat and the ’59 does. But if you can get the ’59 power head for a decent price it might be worth keeping around for parts or possible project down the road.

The rest of the motor looked new too Don. Probably the best original I ever owned. But I hated using it for fishing and a daily runner because it was so nice and I didn’t want to ruin it. So it just sat…and then I needed some moola so I sold it. I have some other nice ones, though not as pretty, backyard paint job, etc. that I don’t mind using for fishing, etc.

Donald if you ever need/loose those rubber bumpers thenew ones are pricy …common tire valves stems work just as good. just snip off the brass threads to match the real McCoys lenght and done.

not my Idea I have no claim to it could have been STEVED’s idea can’t remeber 🙂

p.s. STEVE D…. absoloute marvels museum stuff !!

No claim here either crosbyman, I just passed it on too. That all original ’58 Evinrude 10 really was a marvel. But those others all have flaws up close but that’s why I don’t mind using those up. And Don, here are a few pics of what crosbyman is referring to with those bumpers.
