"am picking up a 451 diesel today. Until last night, I thought it was a 53 series. The model number is 43200 RH serial number:4C-2411. 1953 motor. No valves. Installed in a wooden boat which is being parted out. I had intended to install it in a 25' boat and thought it was a 4-53. Should I avoide this unusual engine? Are there parts available? I have read that the exhaust is sensative to back pressure. Makes sense with no valves. Any written material out there?"
