This is what she looked like when I found her in Denver. Nice looking with 21,000 miles on the clock. Couldn't keep her tuned, didn't seem to make enough power, and oil leaked out just about every where.
The crankcase has been modified for better oil scavenging as this model was bad about wet sumping. The crankcase breather was also moved to another location and improved. Upon disassembly of the engine I found that the head gasket was leaking into the pushrod tunnels causing the crankcase to be pretty well pressurized all the time. It should run better than new when I get done.
