I have a 1600 DP sitting on my bench . Whilst my resto is stalled I wantto strip and restore the tin ware.
It looks like I need to strip the inlet ends and much of the ancillaries to get the tinware off . How far do I need to strip the motor to get it all off? Mitchell

Isn't there also tinware under the cylinders that needs the push rod tubes removed, to remove the tinware.
