Removed the head and found the source of the water intrusion. Internal corrosion claimed this one too.

Damn!
I have often said that if I was looking at buying a used Suzuki, the very first thing I would do is to check the internal anodes, and unless they and the internal passages they sit in looked very good, I would be passing, quick me.
And my second check would be a water test to make sure the engine would reach somewhere close to the top end of the recommended rev range. Dont wnat to buy a motor that's been lugged - seen too many that die premature deaths due to that factor as well.

Very true. When I tore down the starboard side, I was diligent about bagging and labeling every part, bolt etc along with notes about it. I wasn't near as thorough this time with that stuff. I think I could reassemble it in the dark!
Thought about dumping these engines and getting some used ones of a different brand, but I know them so well and I know what I have now, it'd be a waste of my education!
