Well, I had my motor on a stand for just long enough to verify that, yes,
one of the main bearings was confetti, and by the way, the cap's cracked.
That led me to trade it for a running used engine instead of rebuilding
it myself. So I can say "yes" to the first question but I don't know the
answer to the second.
Oh, and your computer's clock is set 3 days in advance, Tyson... (it's
the 18th, not the 21st).
