Thanks. 🙏

2.25 petrol. There are loads of used electric pumps on fleabay. Reservoir incorporated, so installation dead easy.

We swapped a morris minor engine and gearbox by the side of the m32 in 1978. Three idiot blokes, rope sling, scaff pole. All done in less than an hour. 😬😬😬

I'm fitting P38 style power steering to my s3 109 soon. Q: Electric pump or belt-driven pump? 🤔🤔🤔

I'm making a huge timber crane - it's coming out whether it likes it or not!

Yeah, I get you - but in some ways it would be easier to lift the front than hoist it out. I have jacks! But wiggling past the axle looks tricky..... Moving said vehicle isn't an option. 🤬

Heavy! PITA! I have a hefty block and tackle, so I will create a gantry I think. Lift and slide forwards. Creative heavy woodwork incoming!

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the insight. I have a block & tackle, so I'll create something weird/mental to hang it off, lift and slide out the front. It's one of those jobs where I have to make do with the hand I have been dealt! 😂

Thanks, but sadly not an option. Wish I could.

Hi Team. Long time no see. 2.25 petrol engine needs to come out.😬 Head's already off. No3 needs rebore/sleeve etc.🤬 The Landy 109 ex mil is in an awkward position where I couldn't get a conventional engine crane in if I tried - and is on a slight downhill slope. Can't move it for various...

Thanks. Yes, I reckon, you're right.

Yup. Same forging stamp. Each rod has a (assume factory) single digit stamped large. I wondered if there was, perhaps, a different axial offset in the big end face machining or something.

Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the numbered conrods? I think my no.3 is bent...... see my previous thread for the carnage. 😆 And does anybody have one?

It's a very low miles per year utility vehicle that we use for beekeeping - if it was being used for anything more onerous, I'd go for sleeving it back to standard.
