send the engine to "last triumph." you only need to decide between keeping the patina or having things powdercoated.

With what LT has been able to do with vinegar, baking soda and jet fuel, he'd have it running 8's in the 1/4 in less than a week.

I've got one like that in my garage sitting on top of one just slightly better (and 7 more in considerably better condition). I picked it up out of the dirt it had been sitting in for a while and the dirt held together just long enough to put it in my bus; at which point the bottom of the case fell onto my foot in a fit of WTF! Burn it in a camp fire.

| The only thing you can do with that case is chuck it in a fire and admire the light. Pretty amazing to see how much the magnesium has corroded. |

So, this engine has been sitting way too long in the WRONG environment!!
It was a garage with a concrete floor, it was on the floor and sitting in God only knows what!!
36 hp unit # 2688592 December, 1958
It will NEVER run again!!
It's FREE!!! First one to come can have it!
The moral of this post, store your engine PROPERLY!!!!!
There is a plus side, it had what I hope is a good thermostat hanging on the rod with the bracket and part of the case still attached! Haven't yet cleaned it or tested it, the slight crook in it concerns be though.

The 36hp thermostats do that sometimes over time. I've seen a few like that. I think you are ok since it's not expanded but you might want to test it in hot water anyway.
