Interesting; I guess the Camper Cruiser, put out in '67 was meant to be driven under 60 mph as the transaxle gears are so high. The lower gears would have allowed for driving into steep camp sites and such at slow speeds with all that torque.

I just noticed, in my project to put the engine back together, that one of the push rods for the valves is bent - a lot - the max in it's sleeve, as the elbow of the bend is roughed up. this probably means the bolt in the cylinder hit a valve - and the aluminum rod bent - which is good! Probably means the valve is undamaged - I don't see any damage. but now Have to find or make another push rod.
