The week ahead

Next week will see the beginning of the restoration process. 

We are going to start by dropping the engine down and inspecting all the parts to see what needs replaced or refurbished.   Before all of that we will perform a compression test to make sure that this engine is worth working on or replaced with a reconditioned unit.

If he engine in useable, which it certainly seems to be as she drives well,  we will determine which parts, if any, need replacing. 
Once the engine is completely stripped down the parts will all be cleaned up before going back on the engine.   I will set about reconditioning the tinware while Tito works on the engine.   All sercivable parts such as spark plugs, fan belt etc. will obviously be bought new.   Hoping the rain holds out because its been tipping down this weekend.
