Yes, it’s odd that it ran. I only have the word of the guy who sold it. Not a lot of confidence. The bearing was completely destroyed. No race left. You can see the bolt at the wrong end of the tube. The oil filter had minimal debris in the pleats. I’m hoping to start the teardown tomorrow if I can get my garage above zero!
