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! |
