This is beyond my comfort zone, but it's give it a shot of pay someone else and I can screw it up 10 times and still not have the cost of someone else doing it.

This afternoon I tore into the engine. Got it down to the block. I had to spent an hour cleaning from my first efforts and organizing all the stuff I had already taken off before. I bagged the bolts from each individual section and labeled them. I also sorted the parts in order on a table as I took them off. I ran out of room at the end, but I think I can make sense enough of it to get it back together. Looking at it I think the engine filled with rain water and that rusted the cylinders enough to ruin the rings when it was turned over.

Got lots of pics to post

You can see the rust on these gears where they were immersed in water



It looks bad but I scrapped the rust off and I think the gears will be OK. I'm going to inspect them more before I decide.









This is not good.....luckily I chatted with a guy that I hope joins on here, he confirmed what I needed to order and I found a cam shaft included in a rebuild kit.
