[Tigers] Tiger MKII Coming out of Storage

	Although the Shop Manual shows pulling the engine out the top, it
can be easier to drop it out the bottom.  I nearly did this by myself but a
friend stop over just as I had dropped the engine onto a very short rolling
platform.  We then tilted the body up, rolled it back and over the engine.

I am using diesel fuel in the cylinders to see if I can break the pistons
loose. While I am waiting for this, I am removing (photographing and
labeling) components in preparation for a professional rebuild. The shop
says that whatever I can do will reduce their labor, thus saving me money. I
hate to spend the money, but I want things done once, and done right. My
son-in-law wants to pull the engine up and out. While they do the rebuild, I
will drain the transmission and clean it up. The rear end seems OK, but I
will check it out as well. I also need to make sure the brakes will work
safely. (If it won't go, there you are, but if it won't stop, then where are
you?)
