WATCH FOR COPS AROUND N IDAHO!!!!

The 40 hp 61 Sea King gave me "hope" briefly. It was stuck but came loose easy. I oiled it up and cranked it on the starter. Then...........I wiggled the flywheel back and forth and it feels like the rod bearings--which are needle bearings and will RUST if water gets in---fell rough and some play. So I doubt this engine is goin' anywhere Just came in can NOT get the flywheel popped off. I have a puller, and heated the wheel some with a LP torch.
