Decidedly Un-Zippy

I finally got around to digging into Zippy’s engine.

Lifting the cam cover was a bit of a surprise. I knew the cam would be rusty, but this was more than I expected. The cam is rusted in place.

The timing chain has bit into the "evil L" a few millimeters.

I don’t think this cam can be saved.
