That IS a nightmare! Sorry man. I think rebuilt M44 motors on ebay are around $800.
Reading through Mobius trouble, I thought that I would mention something.
First off let me say that this is BlackBM's suggestion to me, so I don't take credit. But when I did my cooling overhaul he recommended to put dielectric grease on all those O-rings.
So I treated that dielectric grease like A-1 sauce (or tabasco?), I put that sh*^ on everything!, including those fittings and water pump gaskets. They all popped in there like an old lady on a crowded bus...Point is, they wanted to be seated!
Good luck. |
