Gentlemen:
=20
I arrived back to Florida in May and decide to drive my 67 =
Austin-Healey. Drove it a mile and heard clanking engine, looked at the =
oil pressure, It was O! Instead of stooping to have towed home, I drove =
it back slowly. Last month, I dropped the pan and started to remove the =
rod and crank caps and bearings. My mechanic friend said you got lucky =
the crank may only need polishing and new bearings. So, I packed and =
marked each of the main bearing caps, bolts, and bearings along with =
piston rods and caps in individual plastic bags. Then packed them into a =
larger plastic bag which was put under the workbench near the garbage. =
We towed the car to Mikes garage so he could pull and disassemble the =
engine. Tuesday, he asked me to bring the parts I had removed from the =
engine so he would have everything in one place. I looked around but =
could not find this black plastic bag and then remembered it got pitched =
in the garbage. So, I am now up the famous creek and am asking this =
group what I can do?
=20
1. I am told the engine is finished because the Main Bearing caps are =
not available and even if you could find them, they would need to be =
line bored on the engine.
2. I am told that finding an engine block for a 3000 with original main =
bearing caps is almost impossible.
3. Finding an engine to be rebuild might be possible.
=20
My engine was rebuilt 6000 miles with years ago everything new, so I =
would like to find a way of fixing the existing engine, if possible.
=20
Please give me your advice.
=20
Best regards,
