I dropped the motor out of the wreck. It is not such a cumbersome chore as there is less plumbing and things hanging about with an Electromotive Engine Management system and no pollution controls.

I was really concerned that the motor had been damaged as the car really hit the wall pretty hard. First evidence of damage was the left bolt that mounts the rear engine saddle bracket to the left case.

The tin around the motor was also pretty well chewed. Not good. I had visions of an unusable case and bent crank so I decided that a complete teardown was necessary.

Flame rings looked OK and re-usable.

And the short skirt RUF, i believe) pistons looked worse for wear.

Splitting the case did not indicate and other issues.

More tomorrow.
Cheers.....
