Hi folks,
I'm asking all of you experts on the list for a little advice. I'm about to
pull the engine from my '60 TR3A for an overhaul and I have a couple of
questions.
1. I plan to pull the engine and gearbox together because I heard years ago
this was the easiest way. I've pulled the gearboxes up through the
passenger compartment before (for clutch jobs) and I agree it was a pain.
What's the latest trend...pull together or separately?
2. Despite removing a few gearboxes over the years, I've never pulled at TR
engine before. Where do I attach the hoist? I've seen "lifting plates" on
eBay which appear to bolt onto the engine (front?). Do I need a part like
this or is there something else to latch onto? Obviously I don't want any
accidents.
Thanks in advance. I'll check my digest later for replies.
