opinions on what to do to motor ...

i'm sure the more knowledgeable motorheads will chime in, but will it run now? if so,i would just change the foot oil & water pump assy w/ housing. if not running now & you have compression, check the fire on each cyl. if each cyl fires, then go through the carbs. when you get it running, its gonna be hard to tell how good till you get it mounted and a load on it. not sure if a 89 had it, but do you still have the oil; injection on it. if so, make sure all of the rubber components are in good shape, this system relies on crankcase pressure to charge the remote tank and push the oil to the pump on the side of the block. a lot of the guys on here will tell you to abandon it and premix, I'm running a 94 with the original set up for 1400 hours so far. the only downside is when it fails, it is usually catastrophic
