Yes thanks Darryl it was a good day. Hmm this is a difficult problem for me as I do have enough bits to rebuild this engine. I guess what makes it harder is I have a VC-Mustng which could use the cylinder. Maybe I just need to remember why I got this one. I orignally got it for spares,but when I went over it I found that it was in great physical condition. Looked like it hasn't seen a lot of use,just has been left out in the whether. I mean if everything was rough I'd part it out,but it is great condition.
What would help I guess is whether it is or was the 1st,2nd or even part of the first run of Mustang once the VC was dropped. I'm not sure anyone has found or has that information. If it was proven to be one of those then yes I'll fix it for sure. I guess that's where I'm stuck. It doesn't help that I'm almost out of spare engines and can't find any series 70's G4 mowers to part out.
