To add your pix from photobucket, run your mouse over a picture there.
This will bring up 4 boxes.
Click on the bottom one, the image tag. This copies it.
The in a post here, type away.
To add the picture, paste (press ctrl & V togther) in the copied image tag.

engine after the first cleaning and tare down don't know how to get the dirt out of all the small little corners any ideas? its super caked on and hard, took a brass brush to it today and some wet sandpaper helped a little but still a lot left, also not sure if i should paint the engine with high temp paint

here are the covers i have yet to clean them up will just be polishing them i think, i will need to replace the left side cover there is a crack might JB weld it for now but i have until the spring to get a new one

so when i first started to tear down the engine i found a hunk of metal in by the A.C. Generator that led me to tear the whole engine apart to make sure there were no chunks in the engine and if there was that they didn't do any damage. there was a lot of metal in the engine but thankfully they didn't do any damage!

i think this is were the metal came from, unless it was from the old top end not sure it didn't come with the top end

the little bit of oil in the engine is from me putting it on the bearing so they wouldn't rust or any thing like that

i have also taken apart both front and rear hubs to clean and take a part the breaks to look over and grease the pivot points on them.

here is the rear hub all cleaned up again didn't have the camera to get a pic of it dirty but it was nasty!
