and it nearly landed on me when the clutch in the winch slipped


anyway, just having a breather as 5 hours of seized bolts has done my tits in but its all good.


pictures will follow once the engine is back in and running



also found a pleasant surprise that the clutch is nearly new too and genuine ford one the springs arn't loose neither


also my spigot bearing was a waste of money as the one in there is nearly new too - still nice and greased with no rollers missing and the little seal intact still - however, changing this as a matter of course



time to go back to it and swear some more

 

Your crap....we had mine out in 40minutes last night

 

what happened to the engine did you kill it?

 

No.......He`s gonna bufty it....

 

Yeah like teh sticky has the big pair of bufties

 

What you doing to it gracie?

 

I was happy to put a scabby block in there it was you two who told me to paint it

 

Oh no it was'nt you fibba you just like the bufty look i no you do cos you have polished ever little item

 

wanna come down and do mine for me

 

not doing no bufty apart from cleaning where i can't see bolts


what i doin? rear crank seal was bolloxed, so pulled engine out



Sticky - its the first time i've taken my engine out so i wasn't knowing how long to expect, however, its on its way back in now, just stopped for foods

 

what was ya doing? half a hour tops in a 2wd

and gracelands is a 4x4 so a lil bit harder

 

Gus i no mate 40mins was way to long. This is the 3rd time the engine has been out this year. We've had it out rebuilt and back in, in a day.

Best do this one right i think

 

it took us about a hour to remove the engine

taken me 4 months to get the engine block PAINTED


i still need to change all seals in it and fit that fooking clutch
