Dave, highs and lows...
Well done for getting the car back on track and bummer about the engine. Btw, little engines are great fun... Found that out using the 1584 after the 2276 expired in a similar fashion!

took the wounded motor out last night,sat it on some card board and Holly said "look you can see the cardboard from the top of the engine!!!!!)vented it good and proper taking bottom of no1 barrell out.need to see if crank is ok (fingers crossed ) might get away with a case ,1 rod and barrell.any one???

the mouse motor lives!!!!!ran a 14.9 lifting of in eliminations after a 15 09 and 15.07 .trouble was we broke out .live to race anouther day .

well final strip down and a lot of damage,think the crank is past repair as big dent in journal,might see if t can be metal sprayed and used in a mild road motor?need a BIGGER MOTOR FOR MY BUS!!!!! no3 piston has had a whack on the skirt as well .

What journals are they? You might be able to get them turned down to a smaller size, VW to Chevy for example, but don't know how that would affect the surface hardening.
