The seals looked ok and I made some new gaskets then put it back together. Then did a bench bleed to see if it is working. It works ok but eventually sticks and does not return. The cylinders looked good but looks like it was resleved with poured copper then honed to suit.

Guess I have to send it away for stainless sleeves.

I will pull apart the other one first and see what that looks like inside first. (Outside was heavy pitted and had some dirt nests inside)

Think I am going ott for this pos, the idea was a rough and ready restoration to try and motivate me into finishing the bluebird.

I was not happy with the lead covering the little holes along the bottom so I cut that too. Then after cleaning it up I put the rust prevention on.
