So I got my powerhead rebuilt, Every thing but the carb. I was chomping at the bit so I put it in a barrel and started it. Fired up after a few pulls, ran for a while then it died. Couldn't get it to refire for nothing. Put a compression gauge on it and had 145 and 85 psi, I pulled the head off to find a one inch crack. Sent back the carb and water pump kit today to try and make a bit of the money back, What should I do with the rest? The gasket kit and bearings I believe could be reused but can the head gasket and rings be reused? My wife told me to put it on ebay but I am unsure. I hate to sell the whole thing as a parts engine and only make a few buucks off of it but what else can I do? I would say the rings have less then 2000 rpms on them, It ran for about 40 sec.s or so at a high idle.
