Graceland

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

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

Ginge !

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
