    Agree with your assessment and “the devil you know is better than the one you don’t”.

    As I see it there are two obstacles for fixing my current power head, fixing the bushing on the crankcase and assessing and repairing the damage on the crankshaft. I am assuming I can safely remove the connect rods and install onto new ones.

    The bushing has some dis colorization,  the crank shaft has some scratching on it.  What determines if they are beyond repair and what can I do to repair each one.

    Please, your advice here and thank you for your response.
