old captain slow Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm planning to take the engine out over the winter to fit a new clutch and get the gearbox overhauled. Grateful for other helpful suggestions of other bits and pieces to do at the same time engine/transmission wise. It's a 1600K SS with around 42k on the clock and as far as I know this will be the first time the engine has been out. it's already got the all the basic bits like high capacity radiator and apollo tank.

Foxy Smith Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 With engine and g'box out it's a good time to tart up the chassis rails so that you can chip the fresh paint when you re-install the engine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevsta Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Change CRB (might be worth trying the spring loaded thingy) As above, clean chassis and paint areas that need it new fluids in all (goes without saying really) Any further depends if you want to upgrade or not. Oh, and check your engine mounts for fatifue, IIRC it is the off side that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old captain slow Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yes I guess a bit of TLC all round and an opportunity to get those hard to reach bits of kitty litter trapped in the chassis. Already done the engine mounts - collapsed last year. C7 CDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
