"hey guys, new to the fourm..
i just bought a 1947 steelcraft 26ft boat, she has been sitting for 20 years. i put wd-40 in all the spark plug holes and let it sit for 2 days then tryed turning the crank over and its very much seized up. id like to rebuild this engine over the winter, my father had the same engine in an old garwood so he will be helping me. we have a tool and die company so the tools are avaiable. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as of where i could find parts for this engine.
i looked into repowering with a small diesel but due to my lack of cash the rebuild seems much more realistic. im 19 years old so engine is very new to me. any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jake"
