Hello,
Well, that is it, I am pulling the engine out of my 78 midget on
Saturday morning for a rebuild (main issue being worn rings and noise in
transmission).
The engine has 80K and has never been touched...
While there, I will be replacing the bearings, gaskets, timing chain,
engine mount, rod bolts.
I will check the valve train to see if it needs to be worked on.
I will either change the rings, or pistons (going for 9:1 compression)
if the cylinder bores needs to be re-bored.
Is there anything else that I need to look at the same time, anything
else that need/should be replaced.
I also plan to balance the crank...
I do not plan to change the camshaft (due to cost)...
Any pointers would be welcome.
Ho, pointers on how to remove the engine would be great too!!!!
I only have the Haynes manual.
Regards, cyrille
