from what it looks like it was very recently rebuilt, and very badly, lots of important nuts missing, and by the looks of it one of the big end caps was loose...
anyway, sourced a bottom end on sunday, and then set about sorting it to rebuild

stripped it monday night and gave it a clean and some etch primer

then last night.... managed to make some progress :laugh:
