So are you going to do the rings, bearings, water pump, timing belts, clutch, valve grind as well?

Hi,

Welcome to the board and congrats for the work you are currently doing

When you are done with the repairs it can always be a wise idea to write some lines under those pics and create a nice restoration manual for http://www.alfa-restoration.co.uk

Best regards and keep up the good work,

How do people get the engine out without the gearbox . I have always thought its more aggro than its worth and dropped the lot out from underneath . I am open to conversion though

[dantheman]

yea that was a bastard but i got it... i may have bent one of the studs that lock into the gearbox
but owell they can easily be replaced

all i did was get a block and tackle and lift the engine out of my car

[dantheman]

Any one got one of the dash things!..i dunno wat the part number is but i will find out....

Got a few here in UK, 10 quid each. Quoted 20 pounds postage airmail or 10 pounds postage surface. Any good?
