New life in an old two stroke

Engine block after machine work
After I got the block back from the machine shop I masked and painted all the little crevasses I could and painted them knowing I would never be able to get protection on them once I reassembled the engine.
gear train housing after
I had to send this housing out and have a bolt removed that was sheared off and to have the face of the starter mount trued and honed. Then I thoroughly cleaned it, masked it and painted it with the Cummings red paint.
after degreassing
After dis-assembly it took a heck of a lot of cleaning to get to this stage. I took the complete motor apart and degreased every part for inspection. Good parts were tagged for restoration and bad parts that couldn't be bought new I found rebuild able used ones to replace them with. One that comes to mind was one side of the thermostat housing with a crack in it. Now let me assure you though, every moving part of this engine was replaced with new parts with no exceptions.

It took a long time for each part of the engine. It was a prime project for the cold winter months till a big job in the cabinet shop took me away from it.
