Just ordered everything i need to change transmission filter, fluids & diff fluids. Just because the engine is fubar'd doesn't mean the rest of it doesn't get the usual servicing.
i feel your pain mate what have you decided to do ? there are some good solutions in the search box including pinning the engine iv even seen a u tube clip of some one removing their liners then selves.
how about dropping in a donor engine ?
Would you not be better putting petrol in it?
It is a bit nippy... My fingers stopped working properly when checking the lifter preload on my V8. Got values close to 0.160" ... Should be between 0.020" and 0.080". Gotta get some shims! Fitting 0.050" and 0.016" together brings the preload down to ~0.054" which I think is an acceptable value between 0.020" and 0.080".
Once I got that lot figure out I mounted the fuel tank and freshly refreshed fuel tank guard in finally. Fiddling around trying to get washers and nuts onto the bolts with frozen hands was a right faff! Kept dropping the nut and then the washer & split washer fall down to the ground but couldn't pick them up because fingers don't work in the cold!!!
