However, when we ruined a B18 engine (I was only the passenger - honest!) it was cheaper to buy another s/h engine than buy new parts and get the original rebored. I have a marine B30 somewhere in my place but don't know if it rotates - will check when next there.

Is there a difference between a marine B30 and a road B30? May be interested in yours if it isn't too bad (Unsure if its freshwater or sal****er origin)
