Today I've built up my electrolysis bath, spent a lot of time tidying and cleaning my man cave in preparation for the engine to be in pieces, and stripped the engine mostly, just need to get the crank pulley bolt undone to get the crank out.
What I got to this morning, a proper mess

So I had a good tidy before taking anything else apart.

There's a load of sludge and very dirty oil deposits, looks like this engine has been stood for a while!

I'm also not sure whether to reuse the big end bearings, as they have light scoring on them, but it's even across all 4 and they have no damage that I can feel. Even if I go for the power build, I'll be staying near (hopefully close to, and preferably just over
) the 200BHP mark.. What do people think, to reuse or not?
