Thanks for all the replies.
Good point on the “rod oil holes” Frank!
I was told 40 some years ago to always put things back in the same hole
they came out of, so will try to adhere to that advise.

This motor most likely won’t be run more than a couple times a year, but
I do want to make it reasonably “solid”. This is the motor that had the
broken prop shaft. I’ve ordered some expensive epoxy to build up the
replacement end of the prop shaft in the seal and prop area, and will
try this same epoxy to fix up the keyway, and crankshaft taper if
needed. I have a replacement flywheel in good shape.
Epoxy is suppose to come today, but not sure I’ll get the garage warm enough….
14 brrrrr low right now 🙁

Prepare to be boarded!
