yea i was happy to see that it was clean myself, my cus bill that i got the bike from has a few bikes (u know how that goes) and he's getting up in age so he didnt ride it much when he did ride. he always said " i kept rolling into road crossings changing gears instead of braking ) lol and when he bought it he seems to reamber that it had just been rebuildt.
there was no ridge at top of cylinder bores and when i broke it down when i got it i was mostly dissasembling and doing major clean up from water in crank case and cluch and main drive had same years of mosture build up and carb or exh. rain ..who knows but once i started there was no stoping on the clean up, i thought just running diesl and krosen. in main caseing would clean out enough , then i read and heard the nightmares on that slugtrap .... was always kickn myself in the ass for not splitn the cases then.
only a little grabage like a drop of heavy discolored oil with a alum.marble like super metalflake paint.
good news today is someones coming to look at my engine in that old surb . selling it will make machine work and parts on the trump happen this week and still be able to feed the dog .....lol
now if i can sell the body 1961 surb other racing junk (as my brothers call it) they love to help me clean up........ why is it what i have is junk,.........and what they have is stuff...lol go figuret .....here is a clip of what im looking at .........with a little luck may be rolling down the road in a week or two...........make that a lot of luck and elbow grease.
