Malcolm, your appreciation is very much appreciated! Also a very unique smell as they were packed with thick heavy grease inside and outside.
I want to share a few pictures with you, reminiscent of those showing your beat up Sexton engine. This was a motor I tore apart, it looked great on the outside but not so great inside. You can see half a fractured link rod that was laying inside the motor, the piston was smashed to bits, I took out a couple of handfuls of aluminium chunks and look at the smashed up crankcase and the hole/slot cut right through the cylinder base as the rod came out! I suspect this was hydro static lock up induced, as it was a bottom cylinder right beside the oil sump. Must have been noisy for a few minutes as it disintegrated!
B.P.
