14hp vanguard rebuild.
I got the engine out of the scrap yard 1440 and it has a broken connecting rod. The engine got some water in the one cylinder which rusted the bore a bit, I don't really have anything at home to clean it up with but I suspect it would need bored. The crank doesn't look bad but I can't get a good look at it since it's still in the block and I don't have an impact here to get the flywheel nut off. Are these engines worth rebuilding? I've found .010 pistons new and plenty of good used parts.
