Hell if Ol Buck can do it, maybe Esa can get his in the water again as well! That would be a spectacle right there! :grin:

That would be nothing short of a miracle.  Next thing you know Greaser, with a Southwind and, Ghost Rider in a Cole, will each show up at the next get together.  Ain't gonna happen!  lol

CRANK AND CC HEADS.

Thanks for posting up the pic's! 
Gonna hang on to this crank for future use? EO's gonna put me one of them good SCAT cranks in the bottom end!

Greg - Is it too bad to take down .020 to clean it up .. Bearing looks bad and I can see some marks on the crank .. Sound like you going to get a new crank .. Sorry about that , but EO will take care of you ..

Is your crank 4.25 ? I have my Callies we took out of mine , but we may use it in a different engine thsi winter .

 

[Devilman]

Don't forget that before you do any of that, you are gonna have to get all the dirt & flowers out of it that have been growing in it last few years.  :cheesy: This will be a good informative thread, not often someone takes a perfectly good planter box & makes a boat out of it. :grin:

9.8-10.0 compression will be good for a lake boat . It will sound good and still be a pump gas engine .. EO will get it done for you quick ..
