1972 Scamp in New Zealand
So Easter Friday the Missus went out an left me at home with the kids (who are on no screen time for Easter) so while they played outside I played in the garage,
found another great use for the hoist
separated the trans and motor then used the hoist to lift the engine off the k frame an trolley I built so I could get it on the engine stand.
Dropped the sump to have a quick Nosey inside, which further confirmed my lack of service history there’s a reasonable amount of sludge, there was also a random small washer
pulled a big end cap off crank and bearings look good
all in all pretty happy with the condition. Should make for a good build
to finish the day I returned to stripping underseal
pretty happy with the lack of rust I’ve found
