Dismantling my spare engine block.

 

As you can see it's now in bits, all carefully laid out on a clean board. What you cant see clearly is crud, oily rust particles which have crept in everywhere, Dave is bringing me some engine wash tomorrow to clean up this mess with. By this time tomorrow I hope to have a pile of nice clean parts to put back together.

The engine block is going to be washed off and tidied up before being painted, then I can strat to put it all back together all being well. More photo's to follow tomorrow night.

Anyone got any tips for removing the front bolt from a crank thats out of the block, I forgot to remove it while I could still lock the crank and the front cover is still on the crankshaft ...
