Guys,
I took apart my motor to send the housings for p-port mod. I think I
am the third owner since rebuild.
It was one of the generator motors that I heard some of you guys talk
about a few years ago.
The combustion chamber has AT fluid in it and those parts seem to be
in good shape.
The builder must have tested it with water (not antifreeze) because
the lower water jacket was full of rust/sand.
There is one section on the center housing that the corrosion got real
close to the o-ring seal. It is too bad the housings otherwise look
brand new.
Here is a picture: "http://web.missouri.edu/~lewisbc/13b/parts/corrosion.jpg".
Also take a look at the bolts. Some of them are fairly bad too:

I was very careful and I am pretty sure I didn't drop/lose it. I came
up a apex spring short. The little one of the two.

Here is a picture of one of my seal boxes.

Here some  pictures that Dean sent me when I bought it: "

If anyone cares to drop an extra spring in the mail to me, please do.
What do you guys think of the center housing corrosion and on the bolts?
What do you guys think about the seals? One piece and no corner piece.
