Keith, I also agree with Kevin. I have had to rebuild my Eldo motor as the cylinders were shot and when I dissassembled the motor, foudn the sludge trap full and both Big End bearings on the marginal side. Luckily both front and rear main journals and bearings checked out OK.
My engine was dissassembled for almost 10 years before I reassembled it. It is fairly simple and I had an old Premiere service manual for the V700 and 750, not the 850. I got a lot of advice from Larry Klein of GT Motors in nearby Lansing, MI.

Good Luck. Take it nice and easy and LABEL EVERYTHING!!!
