Happy Cody is an oxymoron

I am always happy

Got home yesterday to find some more bits araived for the build..

Nothing real cool.. just electric fuel pump, Metro crome rocker cover, new manifold studs nut and washes, new syncro ring for 1st, 36mm inlet valves, 1310 pistons and rings... thing that was it....

Cause my guard dogs go nuts and the bloke next door is always around

Who said money can't buy happiness

Yep - Done the "drop the dizzy drive cog down in the gearbox" thing.

Its a pull out the motor and cry job.

THE MORAL IS - ALWAYS SCREW A LONG BOLT INTO THE COG BEFORE ATTEMPTIMG TO MOVE IT.

The bolt that holds the front bottom engine engine mount and radiator bracket is a good one to use.

Mike... they will come out if ya get a magnetic rod... it worked for me.. but only after the motor was out that i found one to try...

and the bolt I used a head stud but it had not screwed in as far as my drunk self thought so as i turned it and what not to get it out the bolt let go and BYE BYE

Too true. I welded a bit of rod onto a bolt since we couldn't buy a long one on a Sunday. Crappy hardware's around here had no UNF, only UNC.

I think I also remember manouvering the dog and trying to get the bolt into it before dewey worked out he could turn the engine over a little and get the crank to wedge it while he screwed the bolt it.

Fun & games...

yeah if cly 1 is at TDC then you will need to turn the crank a little to get it out

after reading all the banter some one beat me to it with a long bolt from the engine mount will do it perfectly.

I keep them spare when i have to move the drives or even just putting them in, the other point is the A+ motors you cant drop them in there as they dont fit thru the hole, one of the good things that came out with the A+ motor.

good luck with it and a motto is never work on your mini when pi55ed.
my mate and i found out one night after rebuilding a whole motor stepped back and tripped over 4litres of empty brandy bottles we had consumed over the night, needless to say it was hilarious and the motor ran for one day before we stripped it down to do it sober. Man was it a laugh.
