Sick of the leaks (was actually becoming embarrassing as well as messy) I thought I'd pull the old girl down for a refresh...
Dismantled a lot of bits and wrestled the engine out, while also wrestling a rib out of my sternum. These are not a light unit...
and sat it straight into the engine stand I'd bought for just this sort of thing...
Pulled rocker covers off while it was on the ground and gave them a clean up, not looking too bad...
Apart from one pushrod tube which was very jagged...
So I cleaned that up with a file and fine sandpaper...
A couple of the pushrods were showing signs of wear...
And as I'm damaged, I used the engine crane to lift it onto the bench for further work...
