I have to admit that I was suprised at how heavy the flywheel was! I 
also hadn't concidered that the fan acted as a harmonic balancer. I plan 
to replace the factory fan with an electric one during the restoration 
process. I will plan to look into balancer alternatives.

Based on the external grime and color of the motor oil, I have a hunch 
that this engine is pretty well  worn out. Maybe I will have better luck 
with the other one.

Thanks for the Advice!

Mike
