Suzanne,


I'm confused by your subject line. Is your Westy dead? The body of your email
says the engine is rebuilt. If you've done that then you've taken care of the
biggest ticket item. That is assuming that the heads were replaced. The only
other thing I would do immediately would be to change all the fuel lines and
water hoses.
