Small Engine Repair 101 Redux ... Again

The new short block arrived.  Here's the destroyed block and the new block side by each.

I reassembled the engine without difficulty except the engine manual has no specific instructions how to adjust the governor linkage.  Not wanting to blow the engine again, I took it to Arvin and let the mech adjust it.  Back home, I reassembled the chipper/shredder shrouds onto the engine.  I've shredded the pile of leaves I'd started when it threw its rod and it runs like it did when it was new.  I hope this "learning experience" is over.

N.B.  Techumseh apparently acknowledged the flaw in this engine, that of the crankshaft running directly in a hole in the case.  This short block has bronze bearings for both ends of the crankshaft.  Let's hope it continues to run smoothly as long as I have brush piles to chip and leaf piles to shred.
