Happy days.

Everything cleaned up beautifully,considering the crap that was on it!,all bearings have been replaced,and new nuts and washers fitted.
Shimming the gearbox was a doddle,the original shims were cleaned and re fitted as a guide,and would you believe it,they were all spot on and well within tolerance,so happy days
,everything turns as smooth as silk

Bolted a few more parts on to give the engine a try out!
3rd kick from dry!,sounds lovely
Possibility of a slight change of plan,it may now be going for the full resto a year early!,im just awaiting the final decision,and ill strip it right back to the base parts
