[QUOTE="mrfixer, post: 130438, member: 23736"] The current engine is complete, but it's rusted shut at all the valves, tappets, springs. There was a 1/2 gallon of water in the oil pan. Looking into the crank case thorugh a viewing port I can see all the rust on the cam lobes. The pistons on there are already .020 over - so I was thinking it may not be worth pursuing because the machining work would probably cost more than a replacement engine. There is another engine like this one on Craigslist - it comes with a generator head. I'm working that angle too - trying to contact the seller. Thing is, the CCK is only 12hp, and the BF is 16 hp so a bit of upgrade in power for about the same price. [USER=16041]@foton[/USER] - so you don't think that FB engine would be a good fit for this application? [/QUOTE]
