Update: Got the crankshaft separate from the rest of the engine body, cleaned the parts if some diesel and used a drill+wire wheel to carefully clean the flywheel.. but couldnt reach sections of it.. tips (besides sand blasting)?

Will also need to replace the bearings and seals
One thing I noticed, there's only 1x gasket on it.. between the crankcase and cylinder head .. is there not suppose to be a gasket between the crankcase halves ?

As for that post up the engine number as that will give me a better idea as to what it's off,and I should be able to work out what it's off.
Looks like a IB AA 1745
