Took the engine apart the other week and found one hell of a mess. This is what we believed happened. The engine was rebuilt but somewhere in the process one of the fins in the water pump got bent so that it could not turn. This of coarse over heated the engine so that the no. 6 exhaust valve seized up and bent the push rod. The persons or person that rebuilt the engine kept her running until she got hot enough to crack the cylinder wall in cylinder no. 4 which took out half of the skirt on no. 4 piston. I took the engine to have it further checked out and resleeved and rebuilt.
