Well I tried to do some good in the last 24 hours but to no avail. I thought I would build a mag18 for my 582 Special last night but come to find out, with all the mag parts I have, I can't get one together. The good crank I have is a oddball and they only rods that would work with it, were the ones that it came with, but one of them was scrored bad and the other had a broken stud. None of my other rods fit, so I tore apart my other somewhat complete engine and found that the crank was compatible with my good rods but it had a bad crank journal, so I guess I'm S.O.L.. The engine I tore apart suffered massive catastophic failure. Governor was blown apart, both rods broke, one cylinder had both skirts broke, the other cylinder had one skirt broke. Both pistons were shot. I guess the good is that the cam seemed intact and no holes in the cases. So now I have a bunch of parts to send to the scrap yard. mo' money, mo' money
