I'd never have dreamt this would be possible.
I started cleaning the oil pump for the Old 59 Flatty and i couldn't believe what I found.
I would have thought the oil pump would have been the last thing to have rotted out. Mart. |

Now that is crusty! Must have been some acidic sludge in the bottom of that engine. How does the oil pan look?

Re: I'd never have dreamt this would be possible.
All condensation or other water ends up at the lowest level and the oil stays on top of it. Look carefully for cracks.

Mart,
It seems you have a fetish for "crust"....

Re: I'd never have dreamt this would be possible.
Mart, let's face it. The stuff you open up are the ones most people just walk past. And then you go and post a video of it zooming up a hill with a bunch of high dollar(high pound?) cars. Nice oil pump by the way.

Re: I'd never have dreamt this would be possible.
I just went and had an initial scrape about in the bottom of the oil pan. It has some interesting sludgy deposits but luckily and hopefully there doesn't appear to be any corrosion That'll be tomorrow's job, to clean that up. Again, luckily I do have an oil pump I can put in it.
