Hi Dave
It may appear to be the easiest way out and can definitely be done, but it
is a hell of a job even if you have a ramp or pit, for what it takes I would
lift the engine and do the job on the bench. You really need to make sure
you have all that nasty swarf out of the whole engine not easy to achieve
from under the car,and you can't change the rear seal which could have been
affected by the swarf, it made it to the bearings didn't it, also if you
already have the head off the best part of the disconnecting process is
complete, all you got left is the bell housing and the engine mounts, and
maybe remove the rad for more room.
Remember what looks like the quick and easy route will often take longer and
be harder!

| Hi Folks,
|
| My beloved TR250 ate its camshaft. :-( I noticed that
| I'm going to replace the conrod bearings, the crank bearings,
| the oil pump, the camshaft, and the lifters. I'm going to
| attempt to do this with the engine in the car. I've been told
| that one can actually replace the crank main bearings w/o
| removing the engine| Thanks,
