cleaned up both sets of casing bolts in the parts washer
Interesting that the bolt heads were different on the two motors. The one from the left is the Orig (1970)
I decided to use as many of the original parts as possible, but I did swap out a few. I got the rust and dust off, but did not take to bare metal because I think these bolts earned that patina over the last 50 years. The Moss Grower is never going to be on the showroom floor lol.
Next time I do this Ill clean all the bits first. Cleaning in stages is a momentum killer. (and I didn't want to clean two engines)
