Thanks 74Rat, there's the hope I was looking for! Since I already have the rings and gasket kit, I'm only out a new set of jugs (~$50) and some paint, I might as well give her hell! What's the worst that can happen, a tired motor dies, or I luck out and she lasts a season or two. I can save rebuild money for a new motor. Of course once I get into her a little more it may be obvious that a rebuild is absolutely necessary and I'm back to square one.

Thanks for the insight, and I'm sure you're all shaking your heads at me, except for 74, he's throwing the "Fuck Yeah" sign in the air!
