Last week I decided to eventualy replace the gearbox in my morris as it kept jumping out of gear 2, I also had to replace an oil seal on the timing chain cover, so naturaly I decided to take the complete engine and gearbox out and clean it all up!
here is the original, oil splattered, rusty, dirty engine bay with grubby, paintless engine;
here is the engine out, head and external components removed;
Here is the engine block and sump after the re-paint;
Here are the pistons after a de-coke;
Clutch and timing chain checked for wear;
Newly painted manifolds and inspection plates;
The bagging system! A4 wallets with permanent pen written on the top;
All the external parts for engine and clutch;
The head before it was cleaned and re-painted;
The completed engine! almost ready to go back in;
I then cleaned up the engine bay, primed it and re-sprayed it the same as the car colour (Old english White);
The very dodgy engine hoist! but it did work!;
Also when the car was in bits I re-sprayed the front grill as the paint was starting to get scabby, but I do not have a final picture yet.
The hoist was brilliant!
