I find that heart breaking.

I have seen those cylinders sell for more than 490 cylinders.

I sold the cylinder head alone off that on ebay for US $305.00

Before a recent find of NOS, I had seen one of those kickers go for US $459

One should carry a generator if needed to run a hand held chipping hammer-carefully extricating this engine. IMO it would be worth it $ wise.
