MG Listers,
I shot the TV and spent seven hours freeing the motor and trans in my 1972
MGB. All I have left is the motor mounts. I removed the exhaust manifold,
carbs, and alternator. The tranny mounts were gummy. Questions:
1. Do I have to take the jack stands down to remove the motor and trans?
2. At what weight should I set the hoist? (one or two tons) Should I
attach a chain to the hook?
3. Is the Oberg tilt lift a requirement? Does it attach to the hook?
4. The motor is caked with oil, especially the front. Is the gasket I need
the timing chain gasket?
5. The only strange thing I encountered is I couldn't free the fanbelt. It
is wedged between the pullys and steering rack.
Thanks, Kelvin, for the step-by-step procedures.
