i was wondering if someone can tell me what tools i will need in order to rebuild a mini motor i was going to get someone to reface the heads and refurbish the block and i was going to put it back together but i still need to pull it apart so i guess i have to fork out for whatever tools you need |

As well as you’re normal tools (screw drivers, files, taps, pliers etc.) there are a few special tools and pieces of measuring equipment you will need. These include: Micrometers: ( 0 -1” .... 1-2”....2-3” but at the very least a set of 1-2” micrometers. This is an imperial motor, so buy imperial Micrometers). Feeler Gauges Dial Gauge (and stand) Plastigauge (strongly recomended) A ground straight edge (decent steel rule might get you by) Torque Wrench (1/2 drive that will cover a range from 25ft/Ibs to 150ft/Ibs) Imperial Socket set Piston Ring Compressor Valve Spring compressor (or a work shop press) And if you can afford it, get an engine stand... they make life so much easier OH and don’t forget the most useful tool of all... a workshop manual appropriate for your motor. |

An imperial socket set. A flywheel puller. An engine crane. .... |

ive rebuilt motors with nothing more than a torque wrench, a socket set and a good set of feeler guages the big thing to remember is you can never be too clean, your workshop should resemble a doctors surgery |

the big thing to remember is you can never be too clean, your workshop should resemble a doctors surgery but with less sick people. I find a good workbench is essential. Plus an engine stand can come in handy if you want to go that way - bearing in mind that most have to be modified to mount an A-series block on them. |
