Hey all
I have the engine totally stripped down and I have also been working off all of the paint and filler off of the case. There is lots of filler of course, and i can see some rough grinder, or sander work on the case in places, and not many big inclusions. Overall not bad.
I am still deciding on how to go about making this engine look real good. I could sand down the case enough to smooth it, or do the filler route. Next up are the Flywheels for paint stripping. My guess is there is a lot of filler on them too.
I am working up a parts list. One of the fuel pump lobes is wrecked and so it the tapped for it, so those are added to the list.
What is the best way to determine if the TRBs are in good shape? They appear good still, but I am no expert.
I also noted the name Standard on the bottom of the case. I am sure this is on a lot of them, but it was cool to finally get a good look at the bottom of this beast.
Thanks for all
Thom
