Hmmm, I think if I had got a camera, and asked Omegatoy to say cheese, when if was holding the engine up, with that annoying sharp piece of bodywork digging in his arm, I think it is very possible he would have lumped me

Aug 2007 at 02:21 What did you do, leave the TC in the gearbox, and then put the bolts through the drive plate into the TC after the bellhousing was mated? Or did you leave the TC bolted to the driveplate?

first time the engine went in the bloody adaptor plate had somehow got bent in transit and we didnt notice!! so out it came again plate swapped for the original one which was only slightly bent Angry

but engine and box would then line up but not the plate, then box and plate would line up but not to the engine then engine and plate would line up but not the box and so on and such forth Cry

however it did finally give in but next time the engine and box come out as one lump!!!!! hint hint!!
yeh was a bit of a day but all good fun even when the gazebo gave up tring to hold a gallon of water an dropped it on someone repeatedly all day, think everyone got it at some point, yep we left TC in box as its the best way to avoid snagging the seals on the box, in spite of acheing all over and having a road map of europe tattoed up my arm from the various sharp bits of metal sticking into it Huh

, it was a good laugh and an enjoyable day, great tomeet some of the guys and thanks to mrs the boy for making gallons of tea Thumbs Up!

and in spite of all the problems and setbacks I would do it again!! Embarrassed

- I'm sure there is some therapy group for people who can't resist spending their Saturdays in the wet and cold trying to get engines in and out...

I bet next time, you will stick by your guns and bring the box out with the motor - I wish we had now Wink

Seriously, I agree with Omegatoy, a good day, I giggle was had by all, obviously mainly at Tunnies expense Grin

Actually, whilst Tunnie got pretty wet, it was LFF64 who spent most of the day laying in a puddle in the rain trying to align gearbox. That must have been cold and uncomfortable.
