Just put another knackered engine in, why waste a good one on the sort of tosser that drives around with no oil in their sump? :behindsofa:

discussing complete motors at mo with a view to swapping engines and selling off / scrapping the rest. (bout 8 on the bay, watching the prices)

ok, update.
picked a second hand engine up from emmots of colne last saturday, which was an epic in its self.....
road blocked between glusburn and colne with drifts and wagons, 3 coppers in a new disco tryin to drag them out with a ratchet strap......
loaned the tow ropes and assisted, got the road clear and carried on!
engine fitted, oiled up, and finally tested yesterday morning. sounded sweet but when the clutch was tried it was solid.
removed slave, tried clutch arm with a lump of scaff tube, (had done this first after lining it all up to make sure it was working), pulled arm, heard bearing pull out of clutch plate. ####.
gearbox now on floor, new clutch collected last night, refit today. hopefully.
off on the school run, be back later......

reckon i sprained the clutch springs ragging the engine out first time round unaware it uses a pull clutch.
should have read manual before starting.......
