Got the outside of the thing looking pretty good. I guess being caked with oil keeps it from rusting.

But the inside has sludge and stuff inside that I can't get to. Brake cleaned as much as I could.

Hate the idea of putting that thing with all that crap still in it on top of a new motor.
I want to make a nice aluminum filler one day. This thing looks like it came off of an old tractor.

Anyone BTDT?

You gotta love that thing- heh!

There must have been a better way to do that filler. Whats even worse is that the funky little bail-wire used to hold it down won't keep oil from splattering all over your nice clean engine.

A temp solution is to use your favorite RTV type gasket sealer on both sides of the filler gasket. Also make sure the cap has its seal in place.

Enjoy!
