Patton, Hi,
You're really going at it huh?
My question would be, -if you are going to be completely taking the car down
for paint, why not wait until the shroud is off, then pull the engine out with
all of it's parts on... If you are going to clean, paint, rebuild the
engine, then you can disassemble it once it is out and on your engine stand.
---Much easier, and you can address the engine bits as a separate issue from
the disassembly of the car...

Subject: Engine Bay Disassembly Tips
I'm in the garage today to dissamble the engine bay. Any tips for
doing this to make it easier to put back together.
A primary question is that I am used to removing the carbs along with
the manifold. This keeps everything together and makes it easy to
hook up right. (the Sprite's needed no adjustment once put back on)
Since the Longbridge head has an intragal manifold, does everything
have to come apart?
Thanks
Patton
