I have found 3 good size chunks of old gasket material in the oilways around the oil pump. I would never have noticed them if I wasn't poking around with a pick cleaning these cases up for a weld repair. Thought I should mention it if there are other folks doing a similar teardown

As a home mechanic I've learnt to be meticulous when cleaning old gaskets off, I've often found over use of sealant gasket cement . . . .

These are paper gasket pieces (not chunks-sorry). I wonder if the internal excess gasket is ever trimmed off during refitting
