    2 new plugs installed from the local autoparts store. I think the cyl head plug blew out at WOT because the new one is leaking, so I think the shoulder of the bore is getting crappy. I cleaned it up the best I could but it’s still dripping, I put center punch marks all around the casting to try and swell the bore closed…we’ll see if that works

    Anyway, the barrel test went well after getting it started (This motor is a Bitc* so get started, but once running, its a micro pull on the rope to fire it up again). I did not change the impeller because the head stayed cool last run…just as well, there is gobs of water coming out of the port. It is also much quieter now.

    Hitting the lake in the AM. Will keep you posted
