Love It When That Happens

[speedtripledan]

Putting the engine back in today after the sump and seal replacement i faced the the dreaded line up with the gearbox splines working alone this could have been awkward but it slid on 1st attempt why can that not happen every time?

That must have been the easiest engine in out ive ever done

i remeber struggling for ages on my own once the the pinto...and then my mobile rang and whilst I was talking away I saw the engine suddenly move above 1/2" and bingo..it was back on the box!!

always good when it slides in first time..

It's because of all the oil around and about

Or he forgot to put the friction plate back in

Congratulations Dan, probably a worn input shaft

You put your engine in, engine out, in ,out, in .out shake it all about Do 3 laps of Blyton and turn around.... and that's whats it all about

lucky, when i did a clutch change had a real fight to get it mated, finally got it in all bolted up engine started 1st time took her for a spin up the road oops no brakes, when i had jacked up the gear box to mate things up I must have lifted it too far, I had crushed the flexi brake hose (from the master cylinder to the bias valve in the tunnel)

that was one of the first things I had put in when building even before fitting engine panels etc
