Been reading yiur posts and problems. Hope you get it sorted.

I am in the middle of an engine rebuild - pics posted in restorations. It is being done by a friend who is a mechanic and I am his gofer. Watching him work it is clear to me that this is not a job for a novice. There are so many things he does from experience that I would not have known about. It is also amazing the range of specialist tools he uses.

While it could be done with the aid of manuals and the forum my opinion, for what it is worth, is that you will save yourself a lot of heartache and expense if you can find someone knowledgable to at least guide you.
