Great News!  Finished tearing down the KT-17 and found there was no internal damage to the block other than a small pock mark in the side of the block. [ATTACH=full]82397[/ATTACH]

 

 The crank journal is fine other than a wad of aluminum built up on it, the clean areas measured stock so I should be able to get the aluminum cleaned off and have the crank check for straightness and what ever else they get checked for, I really don't know yet.  

 

I plan on doing valve stem seals and lapping them in and I had considered new rings and a light honing if the measurements permit, not knowing for sure what has been done to it prior to our owning it. I can not wait to get things on order and get this thing together.

 

Here are a few pictures of the tear down.

Should I replace the governor gear[ATTACH=full]82400[/ATTACH] I thought the original was metal, so is this a replacement?  Maybe this should be changed irregardless of condition?  What are your thoughts.  My thoughts are to replace it and my other surviving connecting rod just for the heck of it.
