I have no doubt you perfected the tools and procedures, MJ
 As I am working on my own car atm, I look at your past projects to get a better grasp of what I am trying to do. Removing the engine from the car like you are able to do, must make every small detail so much easier. Even if I understand that is quite an undertaking. And thanks again, for every workshop post you make

"I learned a new way of refilling 5HP gearboxes the other day - pump it in through the oil cooler return I got 6 litres in to it this way, compared to the usual 3 from underneath. This should mean it is very close to normal level on first start and just needs a little bit topping up once its up to temperature, or possibly a little letting out".
That's the way I'm gonna try doing mine the next time I do it. I'll be trying it at the oil cooler end of the pipe though.

Engine back in:
Hopefully I'll get it all buttoned up and running tomorrow and see if all this effort paid off...

Great work
Still missing a couple of cylinders though. Thought you might have fixed that before putting it back in

 At the moment the plan is to get her in perfect stock condition and put her up for sale. If she sells for the price I want (now need after all this work  ) then so be it. If she doesn't then there is a pair of rotary mufflers in her future

The way you just plug them in and out really whizzes me off.
I just can't do things like that anymore. Though I am on standby to cover a coach tour next week. Only Blackpool but includes a day trip to Bowness on Windermere.
