Thank you, i spent a lot of hours. Every bolt is new grade 8. Every pin was replaced or welded and filed back to proper size.
I went through the engine. It was an m18 replacement in it that seemed pretty low hours by the condition of the pistons and cylinders. But just enough hours that is did not get the valve job at the recommended 500 and got ran past that and burned a valve.
Luckily i found some nos parts to replace them and it is a great engine now.
My main goal was not to make it look good, it was to stop the rust. Remove it and protect the metal. But yes second was making it look nice. I now have a machine that should last as long as i live.
