Andy...hard to tell what it is but if I was you (sitting on the porch sippin
Batts with your canadian cousin) I would pull the engine and inspect before
I did anything. More than likely the cylinders will need replacing and
bearings etc...should be inspected. You can do this easily enough.
Ciao...Ian
