    if you are not careful you will be replacing a great majority of the parts - at a much higher cost in the end than biting the bullet and buying a running one that is almost "plug and play"
    That is what worries us the most... not having found a modification and not knowing exactly why it broke... Assembling everything and breaking again. For now we have only ordered the parts for the heads...Nothing that closes the way between one thing or another and I am more inclined to buy another engine... We will value it again! And we'll see it...
    Is there any history of type AT* motors that have been misconfigured or "by the factory"? I mean...there is a history of poorly assembled motors at the factory...but reassembling a part of that motor and it being wrong again...if I think about it. Maybe it fits the story. My father says he bought the engine when the previous owner was testing it because it made a noise. The engine at that time would be "NEW" and already had a little noise (observing the chain casings you can see that one of them is scratched) product of that little noise that the previous owner complained or product of the breakage of our engine? I don't know... but there would be some way to reassemble this motor, right? once mounted can not checks without starting it? From my point of view it doesn't matter to assemble and disassemble... But I don't want to discard an engine because I don't understand it. That does not mean that it will make our engine but over time if in the end we decide to buy a new engine.
