Default RE: McCoy diesels

I just happened on a used McCoy .049 that came to me with almost another complete engine's worth of parts! Included were two stamped aluminum tanks! The spare engine's case was ruined at the intake venturi....looks as though someone tried to extract the pressed-in NV barrell and tore up its hole in the casting. It's missing its NV barrel and crankshaft but other than that it's almost complete.. a nice lot of spares: I thought all I was getting was a runnable McCoy! Now my old (bougrht in '54) engine has a contra again and I may even put in the spare sleeve/piston/con rod/piston - that is if they are in better condition than the existing engine's. A happy situation! Bill
