If you need any thing you can call me as I have other sources for parts that will save you some money. Jeff 502-644-8123 I have one good rear accessory case out of the 2 engines. It is pretty nasty. Can this be disassembled and bead blasted, or what is the best way to clean it up. Does anyone know where to buy the parts for the pump. I want to clean this up and get this part of it done. **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

I was able to disassemble the piece with ease! It worked so well, that I went down and bought a 45 gallon tub and just finished hooking everything up. I have 6 electrodes in the tub and it is bubbling really good. I will leave it in there overnight and part of the day tomorrow. Then I will see if she will come apart! I have soaked with oil, beat with a hammer and a 2 X 4 for 2 days and nothing has moved! It is solid. So, I am hoping that this will get everything lose enough for me to disassemble the engine. The rear case bolts just had no rust on them, nor did the plate on the bottom. They came out really easy. The one I had started to remove when it was rusted, had a twist in it, so I am glad I stopped and waited. This engine is the worse of the 2, so if works on this one, this should work for anyone! I will let you know in a day or so if it worked. Sure beats trying to fill that tub up in oil! Larry Husky Madras, Oregon **************Gas prices getting you down?
