Guys,
The results of the magnaflux have provided enough information to determine that the engine can be rebuilt. That's the good news. However the pitting on the cylinder walls was extensive enough that the cylinders will have to be sleeved. There was one small crack found, but the folks at the engine shop claim that it can be "pinned". They have a fair bit of experience with the 239 and appear to be quite confident.
It will be great if the Lynx can be restored with the original major components. I do have another 239 lurking around in the recesses of the garage, but I believe it to be post WW 11, and if anything it's in worse shape.
Peter
