With the issues with the stud holes, with the pan and with the mysteriously missing distributor drive plate, I’ve been working mostly on the shop itself as it’s still a mess from the insulation.
However, I have been doing some little things such as trying to clean out the oil pick up. In spite being in solvent for a couple days and even having solvent reverse-flushed though it for many hours, it is still full of crystallized/petrified oil! I tried picking it out and got quite a bit but I guess if I want to do it properly I will have to unbend at least one tab to remove the bottom cover and hope the tab doesn’t break off.
