[AT] stuck good on a WD 45 engine question--FOLLOWUP

[Francis Robinson]

	You guys are missing the obvious on this one... It is pumping oil like
crazy. Just quit giving it oil and it will soon quit pumping it and any
noises will go away and you won't even be able to hear it...   ;-)
	OK, so maybe that is a little impractical. I don't recall if the planned
use of this thing was discussed or not. If it is going to be a daily
workhorse the piston and sleeve set is the way to go. If it is going to
putter around on a couple of acres pulling a wagon I would tear it all of
the way down and if it did not look too bad and wear was just reasonable and
I couldn't find leaks or cracks I would probably try a ring set. That is not
exactly a racing engine. Of course wallet thickness and just plain
preferences are factors too.
