Apart from the carbs, it is the same set up as the Morris Minor because it is the same engine. Removing an engine from a Morris Minor follows the same procedure/steps but there is more working space.

Fortunate that this engine was used in so many different vehicles. It is far cheaper to get many replacement parts than I expected.

I just started watching this episode and I hope you drained the gearbox oil!😮

[@BugeyeBob-zt6ne]

Sort of... but not the way you think...

[@garethgoodchild2643]

@@BugeyeBob-zt6ne Once you remove the driveshaft there is nothing stopping the oil coming out. I found out the hard way! Quite a mess.

@@BugeyeBob-zt6ne obviously that was the special water cooled gearbox model --- lol

SU = Skinners Union carburetor

[@BugeyeBob-zt6ne]

THANKS!!! I never came across that in any of the manuals. Maybe I missed it.

[@andrewmacgregor8717]

@@BugeyeBob-zt6ne I always thought it was Swiss Union myself, but I looked it up on Google just before I commented.

Guess you could say you’re giving your spanners a work out! Talk about shoehorned in🤔

[@BugeyeBob-zt6ne]

Tight, but not as bad as some American cars I've worked on. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bugeye23]

Considering the age and existing rust, the bolts came out fairly easy it seems like. I found that to be the case with mine as well. Did you need to use any penetrant solution like WD40?

[@BugeyeBob-zt6ne]

I started off using PB Blaster but found out I'm allergic to something in it. So I then used WD-40.
