I would also suggest Ciderman that as this was in 1983, most complaints about the engine would be about the pre-1980 3 bearing crank, which often snapped under heavy loads. Suffix V plates and on used the vastly superior 5 bearing model. So I would concede pre-1980 engines had a weak spot, but don't write off the engine as a whole.
