Thanks for the tips, here's some pics of what I've got in the house at the moment, the rest of it is is in my folks' back garden - have to take it apart and bring it in piece by piece so my flatmates don't notice me sneaking it into the house!
Nice build up of dirt here...
Intake cracked, not all the way through yet but will have to be replaced.
Cylinder is smooth to the touch but rust spots appeared on it today! (I took it apart in the rain last night). What should I do about this?
Thread on cam chain tensioner gone. Would it be possible to tap this? Don't really want to buy a new one...
First things first is give all this a good clean. Got the engine block with me but must try and arrange a lift to pick up the rest of the bike in a few days. What would ye recommend for cleaning the inside of the engine and the outside? (I haven't done this before!)
