Indeed....should be errrm....fun *gulps*

Update:

Tonight we removed the gearbox and clutch



And started to removed the belt and covers for the cambelt on the other side



Now I'm pretty convinced that the cambelt is simply not doable without removing the engine. It's got so much in the way in the first place, then you've gotta run the belt etc.

Either way, PITA...

We got a bit further than pictured, but my phone memory was full and we were both shattered so just came home.

Rock on tomorrow

Lates can do it under 2 hours in situ. They have got it off to a fine art.

I've pulled out a MGB engine/gearbox to do the clutch, but that was a doddle compared to the V6, I thought it looked like a heart in your photo, with all the pipes and things dangling down. Still that is what it is I suppose.

Respect, to you and your dad for having a go, I,m sure it will all go back, with all the new bits on and go better and faster.

After this at least you can say you have done the work yourself and know how it all works. Keep the photos coming.

Are you dressed all smart like the guy in the video.

Only thing I can think of is a light weight flywheel
