Dug a hole in the back yard for the MIL yesterday Thought I better spend a couple of hour on Tetanus today
Pulled both the left and right main covers of the engine, what was behind them didn't seem too bad. On the stator side there is minimal rust, but the cover has a reasonable amount of corrosion.
On the points side every screw has previously been undone with a chisel It's a shame as overall they would have been good candidates for re-zincing. Why is it folks can't buy the right tool for the job instead of butchering sh*t up
Also at some stage someone has removed 1 of the 2 screws that secure the drive plate for the points cam. They've drilled the head off and have obviously removed the threaded portion of the screw..........but managed to leave the head of the screw in there, it fell out onto the floor when I removed the cover
Also, the stator has a reasonable amount of oil sludge on it, what would be best to clean it with
