Asking for Advice Fix 273 or Replace

I agree with Geof here...

Keep driving and rebuild another motor...

With the ease of finding another motor to rebuild and replace yours with, I would probably build another motor, probably a 318 since they are plentiful, and keep your motor in there until the replacement is done and ready to go in. Then I would swap the motors over and put all your dressup items on the new mill and make it a weekend project!!
