Hey Ulix,
Thanks. The owner who did the rebuild died 3 years ago, so I don't know
what the reciept situation is. The current "holder" of the engine said he
could find out the name of the machine shop and I could have them check
their records.
Now that I think about it, I'll probably disassemble it to check everything
out.
Thanks again,
Robert
