[BattleBug]

I spent the last five weeks refurbing my motor's top end. I absolutely could not get the OVS cleaned out. I decided to peel off the lid to do a proper cleaning job--check out what I found--no wonder the oil drain line was always clogged up!



Holey cow! They must've used some of that Russian steel in this thing. I first soaked it in carb cleaner, then naval jelly, and finally blasted it with 70 grit aluminum oxide. The non rusty metal left behind was paper thin, obviously unusable. Needless to say the corrugated brass filter(?) was shot. See part 2 for my solution.
