Well, I finally got the top end rebuilt on my 270, had a friend help me to set the carb and we got it runnin half way decent... I was SO excited ! But then elation turned to sadness when we discovered a water leak near the front of the engine. It didn't really show itself until the motor got warm. I refilled the radiator today and fired it up. It didn't run near as smoothly today as it did yesterday. I tried driving it in the yard and it kept bogging down like it has in past before I had it rebuilt. Even worse, it was pouring water from water pump
after just a few minutes running today. I guess I will be needing a new water pump now at a minimum ? Are they out there anywhere ? Very expensive ?Any input appreciated.
