Supercharger casing removal

Now that the engine is vertical it was quite straight forward to remove the engine mount ring.

Next undo a few locating 1/4″ nuts on the supercharger casing and lift off the supercharger! except one of the through bolts was seized in the rear casing.

So in the end we lifted off the casing with that stud still seized in the casing, it will be easier to sort that out later on the floor.

Move the stand out of the way and transfer it to Mr Hoist…

yet again the internals of the engine are in remarkable condition.

Just six more studs to remove and we can remove the rear crank case and finally remove the rear sleeves and pistons.

Gearbox and Sump removal

December 31, 2013Gearbox and Supercharger removal, Sump RemovalPatrick

To remove the gearbox we had to remove the top two pins on the engine mount and lower it down to give us enough remove to remove the gearbox.

Then after removing a load more nuts we lifted off the gearbox.

The gearbox looks in good condition with plenty of oil coating all of the vital parts.

After lifting the engine backup we then removed the oil pump and sump.
