This was a fairly straightforward task of balancing the block on a trolley jack with the help of a ratchet strap and Jammer. Once done then aligning both the engine and gearbox before bolting up.
Not forgetting to coat the engine and gearbox mating surfaces and bolts with Duralac paste to prevent galvanic corrosion.
With the engine mounted, I fitted a new head gasket and replaced the head and rocker assembly. Pleased with my mornings work and over dinner with Carl and Phil, I decided to crack open some of last autumns cider.
The general consensus being that the work last Sept was worth it ! The bars been set. Up to Phil, Geoff and Rob to see if they can better it. Why is it in the blog? well its named after Tillie of course !!
