Hi Wyn - just got your email about the rebuild - fantastic to see what you're doing to her. Hope all goes well with it and can't wait to see how she turns out. Well done!

Taking this one apart has exposed how well you have taken care of it over the last few years... Even the 100 amp fuse was greased up for protection! Little details like that show how an experienced mechanic who cares about his work can make a big difference to the running of one of these beauties. Very rare these days unfortunately...
I'll be keeping this thread updated as we go along so keep looking in.

Nearly came out tonight. Going to re adjust my straps tomorrow night & she should pop...
Do you still have the gearbox attached ? if so you may find, as I did, that jacking up the rear of the car makes it all come out so much easier.Brought the engine back from John today. Fantastic service from John I must say. The engine is fully run in on his bench dyno with power graph. The knocking turned out to be a slipped liner so the block now has a full set of top hat liners, new con rods, 218 cam & fully balanced. Can't wait to 'give her a feel'....
