New Trailfire Project

Got the motor out last night - aside from the feathers and barn dust it’s actually quite clean grease/oil wise. Looks to have never been apart. Looking through the exhaust pistons look really good which is promising.

Now to blow/clean it off then I’ll start splitting the case to reseal the bottom end.

Got the motor mostly cleaned up - wanted to get the majority of the grease off before I split the case. Need to take the flywheel nut off - didn’t quite have the right socket, is it a 22mm?

Got the engine resealed, just running new oil lines and replacing the fan bearings.

Chassis is mostly cleaned up - used some por15 then some flat black engine paint to clean it up.

Most of the feathers and barn dust is gone finally, I regret not pressure washing it in the summer, had to do it all slowly by hand and bucket.

Looking good. Gaining ground

Nice work!! One of these days I will get to mine.

Made some progress, engine is all resealed and installed, painted up the exhaust manifold and cleaned/pressure washed the gas tank out.
