Re: Would this motor work in place of a 115?
Eh, the water jacket housing around one of the cylinder sleeves has come away from it leaving the casting cracked and breaking. Its pulled away by about an inch, sorry im not any were near it atm so I cant give an exact measurment. I talked to some people on getting it welded but yea. What happened was the thermostat for that side frooze shut, and it got hot on the one side. Since the VRO pump had gone out before I bought it, the guy had removed the alarm which i was not aware of. Then my brothers were out on it one afternoon and it started running like crap, one side of the engine, so pulled the head off and the gasket was smoked, looked closer and it was bad. So I pulled the motor and found it to be like it is. Im trying to get someone to email me some pics from home. Ill post em. But then Im also worried about the cylinder because I know the bottoms tend to burn at the port areas. But since its pop Aluminum I doubt that any weld would hold, plus it might warp the sleeve, which does not seem to be at the moment. I have to get my mic out yet.
