Can you tell if it's been resleeved

Looking at the ports at the end of the arrows, the bottom of them is still shiny and not rust effected. I would say it has a stainless steel sleeve fitted.

Hope so Rodomo,can't believe it was wet inside,was kept in a cardboard box ,don know how the moisture got in.

The trick to cleaning this up, I reckon, would be to hold it upside down and use brake clean and a scotch brite.
Don't turn it right side up at all until you are happy that it is as clean as you can get it. Keep squirting the brake clean to rinse it as you go.

The aim is to get no rubbish down those tiny ports.

Stick a toothpick in the ports to keep clean
