Teardown begins

Ok, so again - a lot of this has gone on during the last few weeks (so it's just my slacker ass not making posts).

Needless to say, everything is going pretty good. So far it looks like most the seals are ok. I'll need to replace the basics and I'll get some new springs in for everything else.

There is a scorch mark on the ecentric shaft from the rear rotor bearing. The bearing looks fine, but the shaft is blued from heat. More than likely it was run low on oil at some point. Even if the shaft needs to be replaced, they are less than $200, so its not going to break the bank.

Here are the most current pics! I'm moving in two weeks and little progress will happen, but I should still have it all cleaned, ported, painted and back together before Xmas which still leaves plenty of time in January and February to put the new radiator in the car and reinstall the engine to be ready for spring :)
