Brilliant.

No leaks and runs like a swiss watch....silky smooth.

Thank you for a great restoration thread!

I’m really glad you kept this one as original looking as possible...

Agreed. Cosmetically, this engine needed nothing more than a good cleaning and some light polishing. It seems like it was well used, but well taken care of. Shows its age, but no sign of abuse or neglect.
