Default Re: new to these toys, got a '88 marathon-not running

My phone isn’t letting me upload pics, think it’s slow internet here. Need to transfer pics to computer. Pulled engine today, was tough, had to pull with clutch and muffler still attached. Piston scored a little, when free spinning engine by hand sounds like main bearings are rumbling. Found seal behind fan where ignition pickup is has blown. Very oily there. Was some sludge on rod. Haven’t split the case yet, maybe it could live again with a new top end and crank seals. Time to look up prices.
