    bookfuzz,

    Sounds like you found a nice low hours motor. Great!

    CaptnChuck,

    I have to agree with the mechanics here. You are VERY lucky that the impeller didn’t explode, leaving you with weeks of work digging out chunks of rubber from the cooling system. Possibly years of overheats and new chunks surface and block a passage. Im not sure which seals they were referring to. As Fleetwin stated, I definitely wouldn’t be pulling apart a new powerhead! I may change the crank seals though depending on the motor.
