Motor: Baby Steps

Popped open the clutch cover on the still-sealed Viola original engine, just to start re-familiarizing myself with it.  I know recall that it has a different clutch basket and shows signs of rust on the primary gear.

No matter what, this engine needs to get mounted on Ivy for purposes of the VIN verification, but the question is whether to make an attempt to run it as well.  Ultimately, it would be nice to completely rebuild it - or at least crack it open to make sure the internals are sound.


Then moved on to dropping the engine from Red, which is the super clean "model" engine.  Brought it upstairs to work on indoors.
