Laverdaroo:
bloody hell! :o

Sesman:
I left the rotor on the crank until the motor was completely stripped. It’s quite easy to tap the alternator rotor off using a well placed piece of wood and hammer. Undo the alternator rotor bolt now though.

The primary drive can be removed using the 16mm long engine mounting bolt, using it as an improvised slide hammer.

Bryanj:
Bring it up Roo, just let me know so i find mine from its safe place!

Seabeowner:
M16 x 1.5. Used a car wheel bolt that I bought for a few quid. Shape the end. Used it four/five times.

Laverdaroo:
Thanks chaps,
Still waiting for the puller so carried on after you all saying that it’s easy removable whilst off so carried on as I had a free afternoon.

Well that was a bugger!
Everything that could get stuck, was and everything that was stuck was encased in thick shite, tar, and black goo. Presumably from the weeping motor, left for years.??

The whole lots apart and I now have the hideous job of degreasing the lot prior to getting it off to get vapour blasted in Yeovil.

There was some interesting goo in the pan, the consistency of extra thick peanut butter, a bugger to shift but it’s coming out with a great deal of hot water and elbow.
The motor is blathered and once split……there was a whiff of sealant between the cases and only in certain places. Where there wasn’t any the motor has pissed oil out and presumably moisture also, the oil thst came out was definitely on the browner side of awful!.

The primary chain is proper goosed, as is the cam chain, but strangely I forgot to have a look to see the extent of the chaffing of the cases to see how destructive it’s been whilst I was out in the shed.

It’s been standing for years as half of some of the internals have a mist of rust on where some bits have been out of the oil whilst laid up, like the selector drum

All should nanny up but I’ve not been here with one of these motors before to this level so brace yerselves
 for all the daft questions as they’re coming, just don’t know when yet

Just from observations whilst stripping it I’ve a few questions but I’ll make a list and bob em on here nearer the time of need. For now it’s degrease tastic for the foreseeable ‍
