I will do that for sure but even if I see some scratches etc. I am not going to give up on an engine that quickly. For now, I find it hard to believe a fuel wash could destroy an entire engine by trying to start it multiple times.

And yes, I would look into rebuilding it if it's dead. I rebuilt its transmission recently and changed the timing chain guides etc as well.

Thanks,

Ozzie
