ok guys i have finally got a chance to start the 002 project and you guys asked for another thread so here it is. so far this one seems to be going alot smoother than my 003 but ill document what i can. here is what i started out with. i bought this from one of our members here a few months back. was sitting in his back yard and he never got around to doing anything with it. by just looking at its condition it appears to be in not that great of shape but so far thats really just external appearance. once i got it torn down and cleaned up the internals and all the stuff that really matters is in crazy good shape. this is pretty much before i started.

since im familiar with these gens now from my 003 i can really just tear into these things and just start removing everything not worrying too much. this is about 30% torn down. all sheet metal removed.

it took me about 3hrs to break the whole gen down to this lvl.

the cylinder bores look fantactic. perfectly smooth and all the hatch marks are still there with no wear at all. when i first brought this unit home i gave it a good powerwashing since it had quite a bit of dirt, mud and grease on it. now that i have it torn down i needed to give it another bath to get the stuff i couldnt get before. in by the blower wheel, gen end, etc. i took the end cover off the generator end and looked in where the diodes are. it was pretty nasty. everything was black and caked up. looked like 30 years of dirt and wd40 was sprayed in the thing. at first i thought this thing didnt look too healthy. here is a before pic. kinda hard too see.

i rolled the unit outside my shop and i sprayed this crazy cleaner/degreaser i have all over everything. the blower wheel end was typical dirt and oil. i doused that with cleaner and i sprayed the gen end as much as i could get in there. let it set about 20 min then i busted out my hot water power washer and went to town. once i cleaned it up i was so surprised at the condition of this i couldnt believe it. it looks brand new.

the gen is so clean even the heat sinks for the diodes are still in high polished chrome. believe it or not this gen is from 1981. i started this yesterday and got it all torn down. today i spent a few hrs and glassbeaded alot of the small parts, the cylinder head, pushrod tubes, injectors and line, etc. ill continue on with this a bit tomorrow.
one part i know i need if anyone has any.....the grey vibration isolator mounts for the control box. i need 3 of these.
