OK so got cracked on today with the strip down....
Took the weight of the engine with the crane and undid the passenger side engine mount completely, lift the engine up until I could pull that mount out, then jacked the gearbox up to support so I could wiggle the engine forward extracting the gearbox input pinion from the back of the crank. Then just a case of lifting the engine out, it only just cleared the skuttle panel with some persuassion - going to have to think hard about how to lift it back in with the head on....
Here's the hole it left, some oil in the bell housing:
Clutch cover and plate off the back of the engine:
Flywheel looks good still:
Flywheel off:
Mating gasket off:
Onto the engine stand, bolts where a bit too long so I put some oversize nuts at the back side
OS engine mount bracket and belt tensioner removed:
NS mount bracket and rotary oil housing removed:
Fixed guide off:
Stiffener plate and pump off:
Loads of crap in the pickup :/
One of the torx bolts rounded
Revealing the crank:
Wonder if a Cummins will fit in here.....
