The sludge built up was about 3 cm thick, it was gross.

its an 83. you can tell by the counterweight. only the front rotor is decent. i am not sure if i will re-use any internals. the rear rotor was seized to the e-shaft. the fron rotor is scummy but maybe there's hope. i may rebuld another 12A that i have laying around. i have 3 more.

i do buy it by the case, lol. with oil injected engines, you can never have too much oil in stock
i use nothing but castrol. my personal thing i guess. something just doesn't feel right to me using the 98 cent oil. but thats just me i guess

I normally don't buy my Castrol GTX 20W50 by the case, but with the car recently consuming a quart every other day, I bought one. Now that the internal oil leak is handled, I have oil reserves to last for awhile.

GTX 20W50 by the case also. Also stocked up on a couple of Oil Filters. I hate to go to the store and find they are out of filters when I go to change oil. Try and have one on hand all the time.

That was fun.
Keep in mind we tore an engine apart because we were BORED. After sorting out Jacks -SE and getting the idle on my GS unbuggered (it was the Throttle Position Switch and the A/C compensator) there were 5 of us just standing around, with tools out, already greasy and our gracious host had moved 4 cars into the street so we could tinker. Imagine what kind of hell we could have made if we got into a better engine with a beer run and a hole saw....

That thing was either a coolant seal motor that someone let sit (by definition coolant seal failure lets coolant into the combustion chamber which will cause rust if not blown out), or it just got water into it by some other means (sitting with intake off, hood open, outside in the yard, etc. usually the only things reuseable would be rotorhousings and e-shaft. However the pre 86 rotorhousings chrome flake too badly to be reused most of the time anyway, so I'd call it a total loss. It's usually really hard to get stuck side seals out of rusty rotors.
