Engine
The engine was seized. I messed around for a couple of months pouring oil down the bores and then trying to turn it. Then gave up.
Separated the engine from the gearbox, and got the big lump up on an engine stand. Everything looked pretty caked in oil and grime.

Sent it off for machining: crank regrind, rebore and new pistons, plus I had the head reconditioned for unleaded fuel. New oil pump, timing chain and gaskets all round. Looking pretty different now!
