The engine is OUT!
Discussion
The previous thread was getting a bit picture heavy, so I thought it was a good point to carry on in a new one… And the engine is successfully removed!
Here it is:
Hired some muscle to help carry…
Not much left to remove now
Had to remove the clutch to get it on the engine stand. Doesn't look in too bad condition…though I'm not entirely sure what 'good' or 'bad' looks like…at 80,000 miles though feels like a job to do while its in bits?
Cheers,
Andrew

Good looks like plenty of friction material left before you get anywhere near the rivets, and the four coil springs should be tight in the hub.If release bearing sounds dry/rattly it needs changing, a lot of suppliers only do a full 3 piece kit these days anyway.
Dark blue overalls next time

Might bring this and a few other bits to S club for a few of my consultant mechanics to cast their eye over… I'm looking at you Mike & Mr Plow!!! Will bring beers with the bits of S.If release bearing sounds dry/rattly it needs changing, a lot of suppliers only do a full 3 piece kit these days anyway.
