    Wow! So I started dismantling the 253. Every part and bolt is getting its own container.
    This is my first engine dismemberment, so looking forward to learning.

    It's a 253 from the 02/75 HJ Sandman, I hope to have this cleaned up and restored

    I wont throw anything , but that water pump looks knackered. I've spoken with a local guy about the motor, but I don't think he knows how bad it is but I am pretty set on getting this one restored.
