Here is a closeup pic of the ear that snapped off.&nbsp\\; As I stated, I already have a welder that will TIG weld it back on&nbsp\\;next week
&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
Afterwards,

&nbsp\\;
Here is a pic of the motor.&nbsp\\; You can see the top of one valvecover already cleaned up&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
And, lastly, the pile of crap to be cleaned up and reused, if nice enough.
&nbsp\\;
