The free engine surprisingly has a significant amount of original paint left on the block. Unfortunately the harmonic balancer is horribly pitted right at the seal contact area. We chucked it in a lathe and it wobbles as bad as the first one I removed. The HB that I broke ran very true on the engine for the brief time that I ran it, so I am fairly certain the the crank is fine.
I have a buddy who has a yard art truck in the flower bed of his front yard, The engine is still in it. I may have to trim his bushes to get to the balancer. smile
