FYI, the previous owner showed me his receipt for a head and block replacement on this motor four months before he says it seized on him. So it should be, if not new, newly inspected stuff, and hopefully not rusted. dono for sure, but time sill tell whilst I tear her down. Won't get to tear it down any further till late next week though, life interrupts my projects yet again. doh


PS. The oil pump was replaced at the same time the head and block was. And, when I drained the oil I found no water. still, time will tell
