Thanks all for the excellent advice, and especially contact info for parts, etc.
I'm ready to pull the motor. It was overhauled years ago but not painted and we want to clean it up and paint it, and resurface the flywheel as suggested above.
Funny how the original service manual says to just loop some rope around the engine and a 2x4 and get three guys to lift it out.
Anyway, the motor comes out today and gets some cleaning. We'll wait for the very welcome rain to pass before I paint it.
Also today, we set up the four-post lift. I've never had the luxury of a lift before.
Tomorrow is the start of race weekend, in the rain, at technical Sonoma Raceway, in an Opel wagon, so work will resume on Monday.

P.S. Deuce Roadster, I get up to Shelton now and then, usually to race but also to visit an Opel friend.
