I did not read Pine's letter properly before answering.  As the engine is
time ex now it will need an overhaul before further use so the only factor
to be dealt with is the inherent reliability of the engine.  I cannot
comment on this technically but why buy possible trouble?  Hopefully the
case will not be cracked now or require welding and line boring to correct
fretting corrosion, as mine did.  Used engines are a crap shoot.
