I finally got a few pictures of the motor yesterday after work. The rotating assembly is super clean with the exception of one small spot that has a hair of rust on it towards the last main cap. Nothing close to the bearing, it was just sitting vertical in storage before I got it.
The photos are iPhone quality right now, but maybe I’ll have better ones before I start cleaning it up. Here’s another shot of the internals. The piston skirts look to be in excellent condition still having all the skirt material on them without any wear pattern showing.
The next picture is just a shot of the piston and crosshatch still on the cylinder wall. Looks good to me!
The casting number from what I can read is 12551364
