Engine out, now to open up and see how bad this is. It’s seized, the question is why...

The oil filter bolt on this bike was completely chewed and attached to the filter casing, and preventing the engine to come out of the frame. Tried everything. Cutting a slot to tap, welding some leverage. No good. Ultimately I lost my cool and chopped it. Not very elegant, but it’s out and the engine is now on the bench!

Unmounted my terrible old tyres, hoping to fit new rubber and to make the rolling chassis more mobile. Turns out my rims are pretty horrible. I’m thinking it might be an opportunity for fancy alloy valanced rims? Or at least raw stainless steel. No chrome, for sure.
