YAY!!! Bearing Juice!!!

That's not "bearing juice" in the coolant. That's rust. There's no way for bearing material to get into the coolant system.

The bearing material was clearly trashed where it meets the E-Shaft, it looks like I should be able to press fresh bearings in and either reuse this, or sell them to recoup a slight bit of cost..

If you can't reuse them how are you going to sell them?

So yeah... now I've got me a handy-dandy square of 2x4 to help smack the rear Counter Weight free with. Tomorrow after work I'll reassemble the front stack, reattach the Flywheel, pop loose the CW and continue with the strip down.

Here's how I left the engine tonight:

Watchoo talking about Willis? You already have the nut off you can remove the rear counter weight as it is.
