2008 February 23: Disassembly and cleaning (1.50 hours)

• Removed the swing arm bearings and races.
• Removed the U-Joint carrier bearing.
• Removed the only remaining bits off of the engine case: oil pump and distributor. The oil pump is missing its bearing. I thought perhaps it has fell out when I was moving and rotating the case around. But, I searched everywhere (including the trash) and could not find it. I'm glad this engine only saw 15 miles after rebuild...that missing bearing could have done some real damage.
• Removed the gasket material from the rear main bearing flange.
• Cleaned the front and rear main bearings.
