[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 98141, member: 3287"] I had to do a quick engine strip back in January (number 7th time since 1964) thankfully not to replace a bottom end, just mains as when removing magnetic sump plug to do oil change steel cage material came with it, with crank removed the `C/case flat on bench screwed in slide hammer into oil pump sleave and came so easily the sleave flange dinged onto the G50 plate damaging the sleave, so reassembling I had to fit a mish mash of pump shaft and sleave from old used bits box, consquently it sumps with in a week ! so did the same as I did to Old Harry with linked rod from petrol cock to additional cock in oil line. Simple like my self. Can't go with out fuel ! Six days off the road, quickest I've ever done it but fitted bronze caged bearings (old stock) and getting more difficult to find, and more expensive too. bananaman [/QUOTE]
