    I had forgotten that they changed to roller bearings on the wrist pins. That started with 15D14 in 1962. That makes the pistons & rods different than the ’56 J/E 15hp and/or earlier Gale 15s. Also makes it a better powerhead. And a bit of a rarity too, since 1963 was the last year, at least in U.S. Yep, still has that garbage 303804 lower crank seal, one of the world’s most effective motor killers.
