The Strip and rebuild (Just not yet)






Hopefully this is a string point and not one that will be never ending !!
Bought with a dodgy engine and am stripping and refurbishing it completely

The engine is almost stripped -having difficulty getting the spare time these days and an hour here and there will have to suffice.
I have the transmission removed and the injectors and just about ready to pull the heads as soon as i can remove the crankshaft pulley bolt- it is a nightmare to remove on mine - tried and failed so far.
Any ideas - I have the flywheel locked with a bolt through it and through the window

Normal thread (Lefty Loosey) Laughing

The last one I done was so tight, I climbed into the engine bay, and had 2 feet pushing against the inner wing to undo it. It was Censored tight Evil or Very Mad

It does require the largest of my ratchets.

And a reasonable amount of prayer....

...to all the deities you can think of.

I had a 2 metre scaffold pole over an 18 inch shifter, and a whole box of weetabix.

No prayers were necessary, though I did use all the swear words I know, and that worked.
