runs ok but should I keep it?
I would use the space for added water tank, and use a small oudbord.

With all due respect, garbage.For the cost of rebuilding or less you can repower with a brand new engine that will be cheaper to operate and maintain overall.
I think this pretty much says it all.runs ok but should I keep it?
well then you stand alone, this engin has never been touched in more then 30 years and still running strong. Now id have to call this reliable.The MD17C is a three cylinder design.
I stand by my statement of not spending money on an old raw water cooled engine. It will fail dramatically at any time due to rusting thru from the inside.
Been down this road with my very own MD1B...sidmon pleas dont fall for this nonesens, the md1 cooling systhem is absurdly simple with a few holes thrue the cylinder head and injector sleeves. the thermostate and hose ar the only weakness of this engin, and mine (originals) still performing thire duties.
