Engine Prep

 Shot of the Geerage. The wife let me buy a harbor freight engine stand w00t


Found out that the original engine was chipped where the two halves of the lower case came together =/
Alas I have a second case that was included in the purchase =D

 You can see the chip here (It was significant enough to cause probable oil leakage from the case)

Here is the new case being preped for paint

Painted up

Transferring  the crank and trans gears and seals to the new case was interesting but not as hard as I had anticipated, only took approx. 1hr. Oil filter/cover, shift shaft, and shifter were transferred.

Old case is pictured on the left, new (silver) on the right.

Shot of the crankshaft.
