[Roadsters] Eliza dismantled

[Peter Harrison]

A few questions and requests.
Got the engine out and dismantled - amazingly there doesn't seem to be any
significant damage - a small nick in the front bearing and laying the crank
down against flat surfaces it appears that it is straight - though I will let
a machine shop make the final determination.

Question 1
Taking apart the engine i bought on craisglist - i noticed that there were
additional aluminum 'nuts' (open) on top of the main nuts holding down the
conrods - any thoughts as to whether i should add them to my engine?? and why
are they there in the first place?

Request 1
Need the u-shaped bracket that holds in the swaybar - it is quite badly dented
and easier to replace rather than bang out
Request 2
Need 2 castle nuts for the lower ball joints

Hopefullly this will all be sorted by the end of April - working kinda gets in
the way of playing

BTW - for local socalrockers - i now have an engine hoist, a leveller and an
engine stand for loan once eliza is put back together again.

Happy motoring

Peter
