Got the engine and gearbox split and the engine mounted on the stand. Grot everywhere.







Bugger The cross-threaded bolt has cracked the block. I'm not sure if this can be repaired or not at the moment. If it can be welded in place then it might be possible, but I think hypereutectic alloys have some odd requirements for welding.





If it can't be repaired then I will get another engine out of stock and put that in instead, but I'm carrying on cleaning it up at the moment





I think, if it does go back in, its going to need a bit of an Italian tune-up to clear the pipes a bit
