Greetings
This question may seem silly, but I have taken the head off of my MGB, and
now am trying to figure out how to take the main crankshaft bolt off
without turning the engine. In looking around, I can't find a way to
brace the engine to get enough torque on the bolt. And is it reverse
threaded?
After my replacement of the 'big end' bearings, I still got a clicking
noise, and my number one carb had no vacuum. I found that I had a burned
valve, and a blown head gasket between Number one and two. My mechanic
advised me to replace my cam too, since my tappets are pitted- he reasoned
that the worn lobes on the cam caused the valve to burn. ? I am also
going to replace my piston rings also- . It upsets me to think that I am
going to do all of this, and it may still be my main bearings!?
My wife has given me permission to invest all the time and effort needed
to restore the B, then I will sell my new 95 isuzu truck! Man, life is
good.
Thanks for any advice- you all have been a great help!
