Ahoy matie, I see by your reference to the Pirate of Walkersville,that you
are a local.
Set sail for Crazy Rays,Erdman ave., for a rebuilt 1.9 for $150 Arrrrrrr I
say.Keep your dablooms burried(for now) . I spied a fine 1.9 w/head gasket
leaks, just today,I did. From an 85,it is. I have robbed this carcus of
precious parts,myself,but the block remains,and may only need head
resealing.Beware matie,this carcus is owned by the evil Pirate of
Baltimore,himself.Many a soul has entered his domain.Never to return.What
lurks behind those brown wooden fences is anyones guess.It is said that a
fair maiden lives in that yard and lures those how seak ship resources,to
their peril.A cliff is located at the rear of the yard.Steer yourself way
clear of this ,and that 1.9 may be yours.

 Perhaps the secret fourth the way to replace your engine,is at
hand.Arrrrr. Look at your treasure map and set sail eastward. A days
sail ,if the winds are with you,it is.Do it soon.

This 1.9 looks to be recently rebuilt.The aluminum is still fine and bright
as a kings ransom,it is.Arrrr,I say again.A gamble it is matie.But a fair
one,if I say so ,myself.The head gaskets can each be repaired with the
engine removed and access aplenty. I have a secret treasure map that tells
of a, as yet unknown to the world, method of repairing said gaskets without
removing the heads.Arrrr I say somemore. A novice, of tenderfoot
parameters, can complete this task ,and keep burried the loot that so many
are looking for. Burried from all those who seak to rob a fine priate of
hard stole gold.Perhaps a 1.9 w/ new head gaskets can be at hand, for a
total price of $300 dablooms. Jolly Roger
