Managed a few hours tonight - hopefully get the cases apart and get a good look at what's going on. Obviously someone has been in the motor but judging from the gaskets and goo used I don't think that they got beyond taking the head and barrels off.
Flipped the motor and removed the oil filter housing and then the sump.
Pretty telling in here - loads of metal flakes and more gasket goo on the strainer.
Just spotted this lil' beauty as well - a trip to the Tig guy is on the cards
Sump pan was filthy with goo and tar.
Multi coloured gasket and alloy heaven
Worryingly - I could see a crank cap bolt missing. Nothing like that in the motor so I guessing that one was removed from the sump aperture ?? Strange.
Another sheared cranked case bolt. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Cases apart - crank out - nice and easy - just had to clean up the threads on the jack bolt points.
Just a reminder to me of another sheared bolt. This time it's a starter motor bolt.
These marks could be when the cam guide let go
Close ups of the marks
That'll do for tonight - next will be stud removal and get the cracked casing welded.
