John McEwan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Finally getting it back together after around 10 months. Resleeved back to new standard bores, new pistons, polished crank journals and clearances checked, valve seats recut and inlet valves reconditioned and stainless exhaust valves, reground cam for newer overlap, decked block and slightly shaved head, new head studs and recent gearbox upgrade to new 1st and 2nd higher ratio. The best recent upgrade has been the rubber engine mounts. It was running on three and a half cylinders and was as smooth as silk. Should be even better now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looking at your lifting technique, I am concerned that at best you risk bending the head studs due to not lifting centrally so the weight bias is tilting the engine, at worst pulling the studs out of the block due to stripping the threads which could result in damage to the car / engine or injury to you. I prefer to use slings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Amen, soft slings are MUCH better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
