[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 495817, member: 31667"] When I took the powerhead off the engine, I discovered a big hole in the crankcase (photos). So I bought a salvaged powerhead from the same group of serial numbers. It has 130/130 compression and cycled with no issues when spun with a starter. So I think this used powerhead will be plug-n-play. I have a couple of questions: 1. What is a recommended gasket maker (rtv) that I can use to install the powerhead into the platform of the motor? 2. When I bolt on the flywheel, will the engine timing be close to accurate, since I have not adjusted any linkage? 3. Any recommendations about lubrication or other things before starting the motor? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
