Nearly ready to remove the block...

As you heard last week, the rest of the engine is coming out... again...  so time to get ready for the block to be removed...  Jason was hoping to be available today to do it, but was working instead, so Damian set to work doing the final preparation for the block removal...


Off came the bonnet...


Off came the musical air horns and bell housing bolts...


All that remains is to get a crane and attach to the block, undo the flywheel bolts and the engine mounts, and lift it out!!

With a bit of spare time up his sleeve, Damian set about installing the new white safety lights... even though the existing LED ones were ultra-bright, the size caused a bit of discussion at last year's scrutineering, so he decided that bigger is better and got some larger ultra-bright LEDs!!


Hopefully Jason will be able to come around on Monday night, and the block can be removed without too much drama... stay tuned!!
