thomas cleeves Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 So last weekend I took the engine out to tidy it up sort oil leaks do the gearbox bearing as can hear it's gone and paint it up after taking it out found the back of the head had cracked and someone has just welded it up WHY!!! Just Why go to all that effort of taking it out and doing that so I was a little gutted after looking round the rest of it I have decided to just put this engine to one side and keep for parts here's a pic of it coming out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
