Nice post-mortem on the engine! Considering the damage described, I'd not want to build one up from a short block either. Sounds like you'd need to replace most of the parts anyway?

Well, a short-block is all of the internal components: cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, cam shaft, timing gears, etc. From there, you bolt on all of the other components like the cylinder heads, ignition modules, carburetor, and so on. I'm hoping B&S will send a complete new engine as that will save the time and trouble of putting it all together (I would be paid for it though) and then I could also salvage and sell all of those parts.
