The oil pick-up pipe and strainer was full of the thick sludge oil from the sump.
I've order a 2 litre Ultrasonic cleaner which I'm hoping will help with all this cleaning especially the SU carbs when I get on to them.
Two bolt remove and lifted it off, yet another gasket to scrape off.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
