All I have on the counter weight is new 155.00 shipped prepaid and ground shipping.
On the bolt ring are you talking about the 22mm nut on the back of the engine? If so I could just put one in the box for you. I'm in the office today or you can call Dave. I have it on his desk.

>  > >  Dave L;  I almost had the big one reading your post on Atkins engine, and the condition of it being set up with rust.  I nearly ran out to the garage, tore the tape off the exhaust ports,  grabbed a bar and turned the engine over.  To my delight, the compression is great and the rotors look like it was assembled yesterday,

Remove the block drain plug and hope nothing comes out.  It's located on the center iron housing, on the oil filler neck side.  At the bottom of the housing, you'll see a long silly looking bolt, that resembles a long acorn nut.  Take that out and hope for the best.  With any luck, you won't be greeted by rust colored water.

My engine was "new" from Mazda, but a few years old.  It was also full of rust because Mazda test ran them and didn't drain the water.  I still can't believe they did that.  Attached is a pic that Bruce sent when he opened it up.
