It's taken a while, but engine & gearbox now out of car.
No real dramas, just a bit scary with it all up in the air !, used a similar engine lifter attachment as you cass.
Because I'm not sure what parts were reused and what were new during the overhaul 10 years ago, I intend to replace most moving parts.
The head should be fine, as I've recently had this checked.
My mechanic is fairly sure that I have a bottom end issue - main bearings/crank bearings ?
The pistons/rings seem ok, as there is good pressure in all cylinders and no scoring in the bores.
He will check all this out and ensure everything is ok.
I will replace the below:
oil pump, water pump, both chain sets and guides, all seals & gaskets, filters, fan belt.
The oil pressure sender unit is new, as is the thermostat.
Am I missing anything ?
