I thought that a “Dune Buggy Screen” would be a good idea but the reviews on the few that are offered are poor (they don’t stay mounted) so I’ll fab up a better one over the opening and screw it to the fan shroud. The challenge is to make it look “factory”.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your point of view, I keep finding other things to fix, like a Kennedy clutch that looks like it has been slowly chattering and self-destructing for over 15 years, a couple of cheap Asian, cracked, cylinder cover tins and a deep sump and three pushrod tubes that have leaking gaskets. Maintenance stuff, really, but they need attention and are easy fixes with the engine on a shop stand. And all these I found just this afternoon. Can’t wait to see what else pops up tomorrow!!
I will say, that I was shocked, SHOCKED, I say! At how easy it was to pull the engine using the lift to get the car way up out of the way, then simply wheel the engine away on a motorcycle jack, everything level. I never had that luxury before. Sure makes life easier for an old guy pulling wrenches…….
