Wow -very interesting
I.m in the process of dissecting
By just looking at the bottom crank seal-I think it has a lip seal because I see a spring (which makes no sense-Since it is a 1956 it should have carbon seal)
The block looks like it was painted by the factory (green)
It does have a fuel saver rod (like a 1956)
It has a hole on the stern bracket for an overboard cable (like a 1956)
It has the letter S stamped on stern bracket
This 1400229 is stuck
I,m thinking I will be replacing the 1400229 block with a RD-17S
Stay tuned there are more things
