Just checking ,You know you don’t mount the engine to stand with the flywheel cover on , it’s directly to block 😀

The black coating on up the underside would reduce vibration and also help protect aluminium from wear and tear , not original and not required. To seal the edges you can get a neoprene seal the one I bought is 20mm x 4mm ,comes with one sticky side. It also does the heater matrix to bulkhead...

I didn’t think about incompetence and arse covering but yes , when you said crank going up and down by how much , thinking did they even fit the bearings at all or only half of them If crank reground 10 thou and they put original bearings in it’s still not a lot of movement to notice

Lovely image, how’s mine wired but using a relay

Good start, it might be worth cleaning it up, a bit in situ , then you can start splitting into 3 big bits, makes a lot easier to manoeuvre to your new clean area bench Keep the pics coming https://pablanchard.co.uk/SpringPetrol-Starter-was-244170-7H5007 These are good fir genuine parts when...

Is it working as it should wiring as Britpart says, if you’re getting 12v at plugs and light comes on when they’re heating should be ok, the bulb is 6v but way I wired it the 12v bypassed the ballast resistor @mystery will have a more knowledgeable answer

Gearbox overhaul fairly easy, don’t need many special tools apart from HD circlip pliers, likely you won’t need to touch front output housing or transfer box and just main gearbox as tottot said you got the 3/4 gear synchro spring clips , there’s 3 in total but maybe other bits in there too...

I put Shell HX7 10- 40 in mine with the 200DI in, as it’s very similar engine as the 2286 can’t see it being a problem and would have benefits of keeping the internal engine bits cleaner

That’s a big shame I would go to turners for new parts , they also have a nice article on rebuilding the petrol https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/blogs/news/article-2-25petrolenginerebuild Don’t know why so many would break at same time How long did you run engine for when it was making...
