So, gearbox off and engine out. Then stripped the engine for anything useful.

And out
Getting engine out was a piece of cake. really. getting it back in should be fairly easy, but obviously needs a little more precision. Getting the gearbox back on will need the usual volunteer I suspect.... erm dave?
