savage bulldogs Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 No it's a engine out job im afraid . As the block halves have to be split to get to the shells/crank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dam Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 cheers (savage bulldog) so once the engine is out can the heads stay on or do they need to be removed before splitting the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Heads have to come off to get to the block bolts to split it and the pistons have to be removed before the block can be split . Have a look at my build thread it's a classic but there's a few pics and links to a pdf manual [emoji6] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Bottom end rebuild is a major job. Takes the best part of a day just to get the engine out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
