i think i blowed it up .... (with pics) m60b

[levi_tsk]

ok so two weekends ago i had trouble starting my m60b but i figured out it was a dead battery .... but in the process i left the linkage loose on the bottom two carbs and since it ran fine off the dock i didnt realize it was like that until it was too late
compression was 105 0 105 when i got it home so i pulled the head and this is what i found :

on this one you can really see it

my question is about the groove in the cylinder wall i dont think thats sposed to be there or is it ? looks like the wrist pin broke freee of the retainer clip and wore a deep groove in it if so i know the power heads toast but if it IS sposed to be there what is it for?
this is the middle cylinder btw if that matters

You can sell the parts and do fairly well. If you part it out, rather than as a junk parts motor, you will get a lot more for the individual pieces than what the value of the motor would be in running condition

yeah its in pieces already and thats how i planned on doing it
thank you by the way for the help on this one

The engine has a top value of less than $1200.00 in operating condition. A new powerhead would be a lot more than that.
