Well it's been an interesting first rebuild. I learned a lot. I am proud to say that my engine is all done and ready to bolt in. There are a few spots on the body to repair first, but I'll have it up and running for next year's sunny season

Thanks to all of you who helped me along the way. Special thanks go to Don for the use of his engine stand and Russ for the awesome technical info as well as the encouragement to get it done. Looking forward to cruising in 2017

Well done my friend. That's a big job and a good confidence builder. We knew you could do it! B

How about posting a picture of what actually was wrong with your old engine? It was a very unusual problem...
