Started on the bottom crankcase to get rid of oil/grease and lightly polish inner surfaces.
As you can see there was heavy muck inside the LH near the neutral switch.
The Auto Glym worked a treat, with the help of a toothbrush of course, but this still left some heavy deposits in some very awkward spaces.
The answer came in the form of the ever popular WD40 which turned out to be an excellent cleaner when combined with some cotton buds. See results below!
Obviously still some work to do on the outside but this is well on the way to ready for assembling the gearbox and crankshaft.
The next task was to clean the very tough deposits in the crankshaft housing.
This turned out to be quite stubborn and resisted several solvents etc. but the sjob became quite easy with a combination of a piece of 00 wire wool and some Brasso!
About 5 minutes later and it was spotless!!!
So this just leaves the deposits from the old gasket to remove and then I'll move on to the top casing, probably on Monday.
