I sure hope it's a quick and cheap fix. Get out for a few hundred bucks.

Thanks for keeping the hoist handy!

I just got the report:
Two spun rod bearings. So no new hard parts. Just machining and re-assembly (well, a new oil pump). With the bearing material floating all around the motor, we decided it best to dis-assemble the heads and clean 'em out, so add a valve job to the bill.

I knew from jump it would be more than a few hundred bucks because it was a complete tear-down. But at $2250 it's still less than what I originally had feared (was expecting ~$3K).

Dang it, and my brother just told me my new rifle is finally on the way to the gun shop!
