I think this is the right place for this, you may have seen my thread started a few months ago about swapping a CH18s into my 682. It's warmed up a little here and I've been out in the barn playing around with the motor just thinking to get it started and see if there were any issues.
Well it really started bugging me how hard it was to turn over, when I bought it since it was out of a tractor I could roll it over slowly by the crank shaft, I assumed since it had plugs in that was about how it should be, this weekend I hooked it to a 500+ cranking amp boat battery and it would barely roll over so put a wrench on the end of the crank shaft with the plugs out and it really is hard to roll around, not impossible but really stiff.
So got out the service manual and started tearing it down, got to taking the intake manifold off and found this, I'm just a shade tree wrencher but i'm guessing this isn't good, I also noticed some what I would assume are after market markings on the jugs, #1 which appears to be marked 16-22, 9-7 is the one with all the white deposits in the intake port, #2 just has an x on it in the same paint pen.
I won't bore you with my fears and speculations, thoughts?
Also attached a pic of the engine tag.

Thanks in advance!
