          We know the starter clutch is bad.

          I haven't taken it down any further than I have. When I split the case halves, hopefully I'll be able to tell what caused it.

                Oooh, that looks bad, but maybe not a show stopper. Does it rotate freely without any chaffing? If it does I'd be inclinde to leave it, to file or square it up would affect the balancing somewhat.

                  Steve, It's not a show stopper. I'll dress the edges with a file and call it good. My concern is how it got there and the underlying cause of it.

                      Most of that debris is corrosion from the cylinder head studs as I was taking off the cylinders.

                      Don't you worry, I'll be sure to wash the engine completely, after I've finished disassembling the engine down to every last nut bolt and screw.

                            Take a magnet and run it around the oil pan when you take it off then wipe it on a paper towel. The towel will absorb the oil ad disipate it and leave any shavings or small bits readilt visible..let it sit maybe 10 minutes and then relook to see whats on the surface. Maybe also in any crevaces that are holding oil in the lower end.

                              Chuck, The closest thing to it is the clutch basket. Maybe sometime in its neglected past, it grenaded? who knows at this point. I'm draining the oil so I can flip it over and hope the case bolts aren't going to give me fits. As rusted as they look I can only pray they don't.
