DUDE!! That last picture in post #7 excites me. I'll take the carabiner, the bilge pump, and the bungie cord. Everything else is un-identifiable!
Just kidding!
Dibbs on the E-Box!
Both those Pistons are seeing lean condition. The bottom one is very lean. Carbon buildup like that on the bottom is sign of lean burn/overheat. The crown getting too hot and then burning oil marks the stain. Too much and piston gets a hole.

I really like to see my...
Hey guys,
I actually see no issue with running this hull at all. I understand the company went out of business - but to be honest I'm not totally sure why. When searching all I find on RCW is a couple of large/deep threads but nothing stating anything about the company's demise...
I really...
