Made some progress with the needle scaler.. It has some sand hidden in pockets here and there.. I was expecting more. But have not finished it yet either..
The India assemblers spend so much time with that lousy bondo/plaster filler to make the outside as smooth as possible before they paint them..
Would that time be better spent with an old needle scaler and a little air compressor? Even just 30 minutes would do alot for the sand problems in the crankcases. They never even painted under where the cylinders and lifter blocks sit from underneath.
I guess this engine was barely run, bearings have some marks, but I think everything is going to be reuseable after cleaning all the parts. Hopefully I got lucky.
