The motor block is completely dismantled. Seeing that the cylinder walls and the tops of the pistons where looking a bit rusty and all the cooling and oil channels where so full of gunk, we where not very hope full about the rest of the engine. But to all of us surprise, all the rest seemed to be in great shape. The crankshaft, main bearings and camshaft are even new! Everything looks like the engine has had a rebuilt and was then put away. Its a great shame that nobody has taken care of it for so long. If they had only started it up now and then or poured oil in the carburettor, it would have saved me a lot of effort and money. But, i guess these things just happen... and it happened to me !
Completely cleaned to be brought away for boring out the cylinders
