Re: Afraid I opened a can of worms
When I set the rod and main clearances, cleaned the pan, replaced the timing gears, both cam and crank, etc etc, I pulled the engine.
It's so much easier to work on. More fun to stand there and work than lay under with oil dripping etc.
It's not that difficult. Get an engine stand and an adapter, and find a place that will rent an engine hoist.
You can check the clutch,throw-out bearing, pilot bearing and pressure plate, even bush the clutch shaft if needed.
I learned a lot and everything got a thorough going over.....
