I do recall this motor having the top plug hole with a helicoil installed to clean up the threads. Believe it or not, this was a fresh water motor, and even with the melted piston still showed fairly high compression.
The cylinders are still in good shape, and I may just swap out the piston this winter yet for sentimental reasons. Im still surprised I still have this powerhead!
As for owens, their 5,000sf location with its contents, along with 6 acres, were auctioned off last week for $365,000 and back taxes, utilities, and one heck of a EPA rapsheet.
They folded, partially, because they lost all their dealership licenses by pulling manuevers on people like getting paid for warrantee work by the manufacturers, then still charging the customer to double dip, then getting caught by the manifacturer. Well, that and going through 3 bankrupcies.
