Other
than the broken exhaust manifold, everything is in pretty
good shape. The bottom end (crankshaft and connecting
rods) are all chrome plated. The crank is actually
cut into two sections and machined down on both ends to
ride smoothly on sealed roller bearings. The flywheel
attaches to the remaining section of the crank. The
camshaft is also installed with roller bearings, however
the rod bearings are actually thin Teflon strips with thin
brass ships for a tight fit. After complete teardown, all
components are headed for a good washing. |
