New Engine Examination

As with any motor you buy without having heard it run, you're gambling with your money.  I got this lot back home and then started to see what was wrong with it.  Several of the cam cover bolts had been reworked as they had stripped the threads of 3 of the cam caps (this design of having the cam cover bolts go into the cap caps was asking for trouble in the first place - surely?) and these had helicoils in them.  The starter motor was missing and the clutch was trashed.  The steel core of the inner hub had come lose and the outer hub had massive grooves in it where the friction plates engage.  

 And someone had put in a clutch cover bolt that was too long and had scored a grove around the outer hub.

Oh and the oil pump drive gear behind the clutch hub was goosed:

I dropped the sump and checked for any damage in there.

 It was pretty clean.

I proceeded to adjust the valve clearances, get new gaskets and parts and switch over the clutch from the original engine, which was in pretty good shape.
