riiiighties then. Tapped the flywheel drilling out to helicoil it, using M10x 1.50 bolts supplied in the puller kit

and it worked fine!
however i was greeted by....this

then, i was greeted by this!

and.... greeted by this


lol also altho i knew the gearbox was still full of oil i decided to split the box from the transfer anyway and it went all over the gravle shaaaame!

oil pump...now now now...my suspected cause of low oil pressure....may well be confirmed

nicly pitted and scored....on all three parts of the pump

so! all those problems and im not even into the engine yet! laaame!

[mini93]

want to see what a short period of running without oil does??

here... number 1 piston big end shell

bummed eh? however the bearing itself looks ok



centre main bearing shell looks cr*p also (not check the 2 outside ones yet but i expect much the same)

again the bearing looks fine



so...im going to get simon at morspeed to look at the crank, check if theres anything i can do to repair it
the bit im annoyed about the most tho... my gearbox, the input shaft hes excess play in the bearings so hopfully ill get Mr guessworks to take a peek at that and see whats doable with it

[mini93]

yay, its all apart now the fanbelt pully bolt was a complete pain in the arse!!!! and then the timing chain bolt was annoying also but got there in the end...so hey ho!

just meh...found few things...one utterly buggered cam bearing


apart from the tail the crank looks mostly alright! so makes it a shame really


there we go anyway! time to clean them up tomorrow at work, then if im able to take the gearbox to guessworks to take a peek at the input shaft movment

[mini93]

not cool!! taken the box to guessworks...hes just phoned me up talking about the gearbox as hes already started taking it apart, my diff's missing 2 teeth the diff pin is eer...about 75% through! 1 more hard corner and it would have snapped and done yet more damage

hes also saying how hes having trouble taking the shaft out...due to possibly being bent...how the FU*K can you bend a jack knight shaft! the person who built this gearbox is completly retarded and now i have to pay to correct it all

the double roller bearing is moving, possibly because ether the bearings cracked/damaged or the gearbox has a hairline crack. The casing also damage at the idle drop gear...possible fixable by just filing down the face and re-shim larger

im so pished!!!

[mini93]

all my parts have gone to southam mini and metro centre to be machined

the blocks getting new cam bearings fitted
check crank for condition (supplied kindy by alex cross)
supply new competition shell bearings for said crank at size required
supply new piston rings for my +60's
hone block
balance assembly inc' pully, crank, clutch and fly assembly + other bits n bobs lol

alex is also supplying me wiiiiith a transfer case and new drop gears. Had to get new drops as all were damaged in different ways primary gear's bush had shifted and thus damaged, laygear was rubbing on gearbox and final gear on transfer case

[alexcrosse]

you may aswell put that crank in what its lying on

[mini93]

NO!!! i wouldnt dream of it now we HAVE to recycle and the fact the coucle are weighing our rubbish with there special lorrys as so they can work out what to charge us in a few years!...i expect....hmmmm

naaa...i think im gona shot blast it at work n hang it on my wall
maybe ill just horde it like everything else i seem to have

also

[Dog]

you may aswell put that crank in what its lying on

Why?

Give it to MED to play with

[mini93]

did u see the tail??? been touched with an angle grinder, even if the mill it they fly will sit too far up the taper edge and thus contacting the primary gear
