8ba awakes from long slumber

Broke 2 bolts on my 8ba when taking the heads off. 1 on each side in the center. Engine was running the day before so hadn't been sitting long. Also I don't believe #4 will come out through the base. its the farthest one to the back of the engine. #8 is the forward one with the offset.
 
Got some acetone and atf when I was in town. When rotor is 90 degrees from #4 it should be at bottom and I'll squirt some in. Of course too much of this could dilute oil. Seemed like the right side smoked less and less blow by on my last run but haven't checked compression since. It sure starts and runs nicely, but I'll be happier if the number rises. Found some decent belts hanging in shed and both pumps turning free with only a few drips now. Radiator tomorrow after work.
