Now that the body coming along I ahve to start thinking of the engine. So a full rebuild is in order.

Any specific tools necessary when working an A-series & gearbox?

All my tools are SAE so they should all be fine.

Ummm, the only special tool that I can think of are a flywheel puller and a long socket (inch and a ?) for undoing the pinion nut.

Yeah, its a "1 and a 1/2 inch" socket, preferably 6 sided only (impact socket), doesnt need to be a deep one though.


The best tools in my collection would be my stud removal sockets. Saved me lots of time in getting all those suds out. Looks like a regular socket, but has rollers inside that grip the stud when you turn it. They are also very good for putting the studs back in and torquing em up :wink:

Similar to these ones (but mine came from Canberra and were imperial):

engine crane, fly wheel puller, and a rattle gun with a compressor would make effortless work, and the sockets and ring/open-ended spanners too; like the fellas mentioned.

Torque wrench for reassembly, doesn't have to be expensive (They come up on sale from time to time for about 80 bucks) but they are essential.

I got all the standard stuff for engine rebuilds. I meant tools that are A-series specific. My Jags had a raft of tools specific for XK engines eg cam timing template, cam chain tensioner. These things were XK specifc and useless for anything else. Is there A-series things like that or are they just generic imperial engine fixin tools?

Not really that I can think of, they're pretty agricultural in construction. I just did this again myself and aside from the flywheel puller and sockets to take the flywheel, harmonic balancer and camshaft bolts and nut off the rest is done with a decent tool set.

Feeler gauges for correct assembly, micrometer and verniers to check wear on parts. That's all I can think of for now.

Buy a bendy bar type torque wrench for cheap which are pretty good too
