about a gallon extra in it.  Anti-freeze, water, and oil.  Pulled the head
and it had cracks all over.   This head had been put on about five years
ago and had been repaired before I purchased it. ($350.00).  I probably
hadn't run it over ten hours during that time.  I don't know wheater it
leaked from the start or not.  Never noticed it being low on water until
last fall when I checked the anti-freeze.  It was about a gallon low then. 
Hopefully I haven't damaged the bearings or crank.

1950 when I was 12 years old.   Use it now with a Woods belly mower almost
daily it seems.
