[QUOTE="StuF, post: 607134, member: 17262"] The engine was in a pretty sorry state if I’m honest and appeared to have been neglected although they all appear to be like this due to their age and mileage. Mine had covered a little over 100k and the car was scrapped due to a corroded subframe that was uneconomical to repair. As I wanted a clean looking engine to show a contrast to Murphy’s OG/battered paint the block was stripped - intake manifold off, timing gear, water manifold, sump off, oil and water pump removed until I was left with the engine block with the crank and pistons in. When I removed the heads to check on the headgaskets - one side had gone which was expected as it is a weak point on these engines and can be expected to get changed every 80/100k.
