Hi all,
Just assembled my crane, load leveler and engine stand yesterday (as work was closed due to snow, shame!) I was wondering what the best way to remove the engine and swap it.
Should i leave the gearbox in or take it out for the swap?
If i need it i will be changing the clutch too, as mine has been ragged quite a bit :(
My head removal and clean wanst enough to sort the problems, so have got me another engine (on saturday) which is a straight swap, so i can overhaul my old one and still have a car that moves.
Also gives me the option of getting a willi lump to play with, as i wont have to restor it on the floor etc, ready to put into my dream car!
we shall see...
so, best way to do the swap?
