Removing engine, leaving gearbox in situ?
#13
Completed the swap Saturday. Only bit of issue encountered was to do with the coolant. I found it difficult to get all the air out of the system, not convinced I have it all out yet. Removed the thermostat and back filled with coolant to get it in there. Second, the bottom radiator pipe connection is leaking a small bit. Can't get the thing to seal properly. In two minds about throwing in a can of rad-weld or to take it off and re-fit it........

Apart from that it was a simple enough swap. I can't remember ever having to use a 18mm socket before though!
