Hmmm output shaft seal or oring issue for sure the clutch showed signs of slipping as well
Next to check the engine insides to see if the rivits on the output shaft are loose as known an issue with the 84 and 85 models due to only six rivets later models had 12
Lucky for me they are ok
Now for the oil pump and known the original oil /water pump was cast iron and one cannot get the original seal kits anymore the bleeder hole had oil around it (buttom of the sump ) so one could assume that the seal had perished after all these years I was hoping that someone had done the pump update already though.
Unfortunetly for me it was the original pump inners seen by the cast impeller and the nut on the shaft not a bolt in the shaft. Had to order the shaft pressed impeller and the new ceramic seal kit from Motobins very reasonable pricing from them the prices locally were criminal.
Now the healing begins because most of the bits are very weather beaten I set myself up with the following
Each part requires restoration I want to leave all parts original looking so I practiced with the sand blaster and good old elbow grease (Brass wire brush and mild detergent.
Shown here is the alternator
Before
After
Result looks ok however I have ordered a ultrasonic cleaner like OG and I will see what that does for me OG has had some spectucalur results.
I will try VHT clear enamel on all parts at some stage in the near future has anyone had success with it on aluminuim parts?
Also pulled apart the starter motor and regreased the bearing and cleaned up
The sandblaster can be as bad as it is good no one want abrasives in the machinical parts I have been experimenting with mould release first then silicon below is a injector before and after
