Oil pump clean.

When I removing the oil pump, this is what came out of the suction tube filter gauge.

With the parts within tolerance when measured, when I was replacing the unit I noticed the bottom thread had been repaired. Unfortunately the thread insert was proud by about 1mm.

To counteract the raised insert I counterbored the oil pump housing, this lets the pump sit flat.

Starter motor

The starter motor gets my attention next, on taking it apart some bits fell out.
Further inspection showed them to be the insulation on the square bolt head for the main terminal post.

The steel body gets an undercoat of zinc primer.

After removing the starter from the engine, there was a screw in a srange place.
The screw was removed and the correct one keeping part of the crankcase together was put back in place.

With seals replaced, brushed measured and within limit and a new high temperature plastic insulator in place the starter was put back together.

The starter has been sprayed all over with a high temp silver paint and screws replaced with stainless ones from ebay.
