Hi all,
Been tearing into a 1964 28 HP Johnson model RX-12, Serial # J2455104. I have the carb, starter, bypass covers, and head cover off at this point. The head cover had debris in the holes at the top and bottom. I've blown them out with air and believe I've gotten it cleared, but have ordered a couple of welch plugs and will be taking the old ones out so I have an unobstructed view of the passageway. The head had debris in the top hole (as seen in pics). I've removed what I can see, but I'm wondering if I should blow it out as well. The only reason I hesitate is I wasn't sure if some might find its way into the cylinder and if that could pose a problem. Also, is there anything I should do while I have the bypass covers off? I'll include some pics here and if any of you see something I should tend to, please feel free to suggest it. Lastly, while I have it torn down and given the debris and general state of the head and cylinders, should I pull the exhaust cover and/or intake manifold off as well?
Thanks for any info you guys (and gals?) can provide.
