Parts are missing and a full strip down is in order to find out what is missing as well as to get at the sludge trap. Plus after taking the sump plate off and discovering some rust covered dirt(?) it's just as well.
Other than being greasy and not taken care of for quite while, for the most part it doesn't seem to bad except for a few places. There are some parts that are in a box by themselves but seem to be OK, thse being the primary drive and the cam. There's a few other miscellaneous parts but they look to be scrap I think unless they can be saved.
The timing case cover has a small bit missing from the rear at the gearbox area. Another cover has been ordered from eBay to replace it.
There'll be more to look at later on, but for now I'm gonna clean the parts up to see what shape their in and after the New Year comes in, I'll order the Caswells tank sealant and possibly the air filter element for the Starfire to get that dealt with, leaving the tires, battery, engine tune-up and registration papers to deal with.
