Engine out

Next problem, a rather beefy lump of cast iron known as the B-Series. This engine was very good, and I hope when I take it apart it doesn't need too much work. And once it's out, I can repair then paint my engine bay body colour. At last! Living with an undersealed engine bay has been embarrasing!

Just a few things to disconnect..

Engine cowers under the mighty (borrowed) crane

No problem!

I think I need a new rear oil seal, at least..

And the gearbox and overdrive out.

For once, things went smoothly, removing the engine and gearbox was easy! Unfortunately, there is play in the first motion shaft of the gearbox, so a new bearing is required. I am hoping the rest of the gearbox is alright though.
