Engine Stripping

The engine's are in the garage and are in the process of being stripped. I keep having to make my own 'special service tools' to take parts off but at least the tasks are easier.

One example of a special service tool:

Engines are at home.

The engines have finally made it back to my garage. That sheared bolt mentioned in the last blog post proved to be quite a nuisance. There must have been considerable corrosion around the bolt (so shearing was probably inevitable) a hammer and pry bar could not separate the transmission from the engine even though it was only an unthreaded portion of the bolt attaching the two. So eventually I had to resort to cutting the bell housing around the bolt to remove it. That's madness.



Anyway after that we simply loaded our engines on Lloyd's trailer and headed to my garage.
