Good Parts that Gave their Lives in Battle
Bought a dead Volare for the Super Six parts. PO said it ran till it didn't, as expected. I take it apart to salvage the cam for another engine, and see we have a cam bolt, and a cam gear, but no cam washer. No wonder it died, the gear was flopping around loose inside the timing cover. I found about half of the washer (two pieces) in the oil pan, the other half is not to be found. All I had to do to get the chain and gear off was lift it up.
