Jerry,
Nice fish.
Second, what's wrong with the engine. What kind of sound did it make?
There are a few things I can think of that would make you lose some power such as a blown gasket or failing piston ring. I'm thinking that maybe you aren't getting full compression and that is resulting in a loss of power. The good thing about these two malfunctions is the parts tend to be cheap. The problem with these is it's labor intensive. Each requires you to pull off the cylinder head.
You know, you could pick up a book on your engine, read up on tinkering with your engine and might save yourself some bucks in the long run. MOST of the time, all you need to fix an engine are some hex wrenches and some screw drivers. The one tool that you might not have is a torque wrench which is needed on the more intensive jobs. The biggest tool you can have is know how.
