Actually it's the other Charles that has a passionate interest in, and a few spares for, the 170 series. Try him, good luck

The Seagull 170, 125, & any of the QB series with needle rollers are all strip before you start motors !
"Doesn't sound to me like it has big end problems" is usually the comment before the "now that didn't sound good" one.
The majority of the 170 series motors that are running well today, have had phosphor bronze conrod end caps fitted.
This one you've asked about, I belive never even got on the back of the boat, before it destroyed the conrod & the cylinder in the test tank.
