Default RE: Outboard nitro engine trouble...

Thanks a ton Chuck. I think it would be a good idea to replace the gaskets, they don't look very good. I'm gonna go ahead and oil everything that already has oil on it and grease everything that has grease on it after I clean it all. I guess I should have just gone with my common sense. The hardest part will probably be reassembly. I do know that this is an older model K&B and I think the bearings for the new models have changed. I'm considering just upgrading a bunch of parts to the newer models. Thanks guys.

I'm having trouble getting the bearings out. I put them in the oven at 350 for 10 mins but they didn't come out. Do I need to get a bearing puller? Where would I find one of the right size?

I also can't get the fly wheel off of the front housing. I removed the fly wheel nut but the cone won't budge. Does it screw off or just slide off the crank shaft?
