Today's MV6 antics
« on: 02 August 2009, 23:52:43 »
Not a lot really - but took some time

- clean out workshop, make space for car and engine!

- assemble crane and engine stand

- Remove engine and gearbox from Astra boot!

- Split engine and box, remove clutch and flywheel, and tidy up

Can't put the engine on the stand today - not got any bolts long enough to go through to the block, so will get some through the week.

We couldn't get the lifting chain through the 2-4-6 eye, so attached it to the engine mount instead. Seemed to take the weight without a problem, and not an issue, as I have new ones  :y






I have never done a V6 engine change before, let alone a manual conversion, but this MV6 will roar once more  :y
