When Jerry Kimberlin and I restored the motor on my '46 Guzzi SuperAlce,
we discovered that, although it was running, it had been stored outdoors
uncovered for a very long time. The motor had filled with water at some
time in its previous life. all of my gears, crankshaft, and pushrods
have a very clear "high tide line" where the water surface has its
greatest corrosive effect. Still runs just great today. Just need a
piston, boring, a few bushings, and off we go.
