I'm "working from home" today, so I figured between
software compiles I'd mosey out to the garage and
see if the PB Max had made any progress on the
stuck fasteners. This is on the ambo that ran fine when
I bought it. I'm doing costmetics right now, and wasn't
really planning on tearing down the engine 'till the end
of riding season.
well, I'm awfully glad I did. Got the pulley and timing
cover off no sweat. Popped it on it's side and removed
the oil pan....even got the 3 sheared off bolts out.
What the...looks like a squirrel got caught in the oil
sump or somthing. Lots of fine strands of hair wrapped
around the crank and scattered all over the place.
Damn Farmer Brown PO decided that since the oil filter was
shot he'd just wrap a shop rag around it. I have no idea
how long it was run like this, but judging from the state of
the shop rag I'm guessing quite a while.
shit.
