Even if you put fishing weights into it...
The pick up screen would have to be missing, have a hole, to suck up weights.
How it didnt lock up is something...
Im saying this...
The seat falling out and the bearings being smeared are 2 separate issues. Imo.
The seat needs a way to get into the oil...it cant from the chamber side without a hole..it typically goes out the pipe...
George isn't wrong about the seat coming out. The rest is separated from that though.
That's my final word. Valued or not..it doesn't matter.
