    Richard,

    Great advice. Will try this when it gets a bit warmer outside.

    The photos were prior to me digging into find the issue, and the L/U spins perfectly, no noises either.

    I was able to get the pistons off of the crank, and it appears to me that one of the rods is bent, as it has a slight crack in it, and it visibly bent. The other seems OK.

    The motor has fallen over prior to me owning it, and broke two of the tank mounting castings straight off of the casing for the block.

    Do you know any good sources for parts? I’d like to find another powerhead to use as a donor for mine **trying to keep it as original as possible.

     

    Thanks!
