I only know of one place, and I would not buy their engines at any price. We got a rebuilt head from them one time, and it had to go directly to a machine shop to be done correctly.
Is there any reason you can't rebuild your engine?

I have done it in the past, but I do not have any engines left or we could figure something out.

Joe I have a 420 that i was going to use as a parts machine, Never tryed to get it running, but engine looks ok (no holes or cracks). You can take this engine rebuild it swap it out with yours and give me yours back, or i can try and get it going and you can use it, while yours is rebuilt. Let me know how i can help. Steven
