47.
The first task was to get the Gipsy up high enough to allow all the work to be
done. |

Oily gearbox! The gearbox is drained of oil. |

The magnetic gearbox drain bung. |
|
|
|

and loads of other bits disconnected and removed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
53. At last the old
engine is out. |
54.
Revealing a very dirty engine bay |
55. Not too bad this side, but it'll all
need cleaning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
56.
There'll be some repainting to do too. |
57. The gearbox bell housing after the old
engine is removed.. |
58. The back panel of the engine bay.
This'll give you some idea of the dirt involved. |
|

59. The gearbox is taken
down to my workshop at the bottom of the garden and the cleaning starts. |

And slowly but surely it becomes cleaner and ready for a trip to Swansea where
Tudor and Mike will fit the new gearbox input shaft. |
61. The engine bay after
some cleaning. looks much better now, but still plenty to do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. The initial idea was to move the
electrical junction box, but in the final version it stayed where it is. |

some polishing! Right enough of this cleaning, onto the interesting bits. |

plate. |

The flywheel is then fitted with new bolts. The surface will be cleaned up prior
to fitting the friction plate. |

The JX water pump was better than the 1Z unit, so it was fitted along with the
new water pump pulley. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71.
Alternator bracket fitted after modification. |

75.
Beginning to look like a proper engine again |
76.
The alternator bracket is modified to allow the original JX dip-stick tube to
sit correctly. The bottom of the original 1Z dip-stick tube is used to provide a
snug fit into the engine block. |
