Bigmadaddy: You just made me feel a lot better. I had never taken a motor apart and put it back together before, but I decided to try it on my big bolt. I took it to a machine shop and they did all the really hard stuff, brought it home, put it together, and so far it runs fine. I do have some small oil leaks, which really dissapointed me a lot, but maybe I'm being too picky. Anyway, they are small, and I'm not about to take it apart to try to fix them. allen
