    There would have been a fair bit of stuff coming out of Bandiana. There would have been a heck of a lot more at Moorebank in Sydney.

    Actually, legend had it that there were brand new, crated WWII Harley Davidsons and BSAs buried under the parade ground at Bandiana. Hmm, who has a good metal detector and an excavator?

    Should they have, if not, does that mean they'll be rusted in or something, or could it be something more sinister?

    Old oil has some value for recycling to contribute to cost of handling it.
    Haven't taken notice to see if oil re refiners are still in business in Australia. Long ago I used to buy their product for some lubrication purposes. Was cheaper than new oil equivalent. Probably cost of buying the likes of used sump oil, cleaning it and adding appropriate additives was cheaper than starting with base oil from refinery. I presume much less re refining of used sump oil would be necessary for it to be used as furnace fuel. Remember around 20 years ago, West Coast Railway company was running R Class steam locomotives they had fitted with oil burners on weekend Melbourne -Warrnambool trains. Apparently effective cost of large amount of used sump oil for them was 8 cents per litre.

    No, I should have checked the book before making the last post - I was thinking that the locating bolt only secured the guide, but it also retains the 'slide', the top part of the follower, which comprises a steel roller and a bronze slider that is lifted by the roller and has a socket for the pushrod on top. The slide, being non-ferrous is probably free to lift out once the bolt has been removed, but judging from the rust seen so far, the rollers may be stuck and the guides are very likely to be.
