Ok, after a great summer of track days, and in fact a great 5 years of track days including Spa, Nordschleife, and all the great UK circuits, Brands, Donnington, Silverstone, Combe, etc, my sweet engine has developed a fault.

A polite way to say it's f***ed. hole in piston and maybe a bent valve.

So I'm going to take the engine out myself (ok with help from my mate Lawrence and Shaun, Thank you so much guys)

Should be pretty straight forward, intake and ancillaries off, exhaust off, hoist in place, will probably take the heads off first then need to disconnect the bell housing, hmm... sounds easier than I'm sure it will be, any advice? I'm guessing the big problems will be the back exhaust manifold bolts and disconnecting from the bellhousing? all in my garage... advive would be most welcome! thank you guys
