No its a GOOD rebuild, I just would like to have a spare engine around. It would serve useful, especially if something catastrophic happens to my engine.
I was also thinking of possibly using the other engine to rebuild instead to save on machining costs.
What actually happened to the engine was that I did a full rebuild and in my carelessness in the rebuilding I left steel wool (used in cleaning the head surface) in the engine and the oil pick-up tube got clogged with it. A classic rookie engine builder mistake.
Sometime next week after Thanksgiving I plan to examine the overall damage of the engine. I'm praying that I only have to slap new bearing in and call it good.
