This is how this motor came to me😳 I have never had to build one that I didn’t take apart. And I’ve never had to take one this far down. Not sure what I am going to find but I’m getting started 😁

Looks like a worthwhile project, you will be very familiar with it by the time you are done, I hope all the hard to find parts are in good shape, did it come with the new parts needed?

They know that you enjoy a good challenge! What was the story behind the engine? Did someone lose interest in repairing it, or what? Every mechanic probably dreams of receiving a job just like this. Have fun. JM

Hi Josh, yes it’s a later model direct start. Liners head gasket and a few other things. So far things are ok. But we know how that goes.
Thanks

Juiceman, I’m not real clear but a mechanic took it apart and that’s all I really know. It might need a book for this 😁 It’s for a great guy. Just gotta hurry up and get it finished 👍
thanks

Nothing like a good in shop puzzle for the cold winter months.
