Laura,
As one who sometimes forgets, let me kindly tell you to change the 
subject line to whatever it is you are talking about, from ihc@domain.elided 
*****. Doing this helps those who pick and choose which postings they 
read. 

In my opinion, IHC engines are very heavy duty, but they are very basic, 
and any good mechanic should be able to provide whatever mechanicing you 
may need. Their very basicness is one of the qualities that appeal to 
many of us. A mechanic of your choice may need some help in finding 
parts, but probably not engine parts, and maybe could profit from you 
having a service manual, but probably not even this, if he/she is worth 
his/her salt. I'd suggest that you not worry about finding a "Scout 
specailist".
Regards and welcome to the digest.
John H.
