I'm in Pleasant Hill, near Walnut Creek...
The engine does turn over... I'm sure its an excellent motor for someone... and I did see info on piston availability... I simply have too many projects going right now... but I know its a rare and cool motor, and they don't come up all that often
I've asked the seller if he wants me to post his contact info here...
