- Continuing on from removing the clutch in the last video, I now move on to splitting the gearbox from the engine and removing all the timing sprockets and gear.
Wish I had hung about an extra day , then I would have had this fantastic video to follow ! Top job !
Thanks, hope yours came off without a hitch
@@DBMiniDIY yeah ! No major issues but i'll be keeping my eyes peeled for your next video before I delve much deeper I reckon ! Plenty of degreasing and painting for me to be getting on with in the meantime !
Good to see you getting stuck in matey, looking forward to getting into mine at some point. Now i know if i get stuck who to ask for help ;)
That was great. Nice detail and explanation as always. Really appreciate what you do mate 👍
I enjoy your videos.keep up the good work
I'm rebuilding my engine at the moment.

Thanks, the positive feedback is always appreciated
it looks nice clean engine that does mate. Even looking in the water pump hole it looks nice and clean
Great update as always DB
Cheers Sean
nice DB... good info for novice folk like me....
How did you stop the crankshaft spinning when you used the air socket to remove the pulley?
It doesn't spin when using an impact gun
Cool thanks I’ve been trying to get mine off by hand and followed the Haynes model by chocking it with a block of wood but it just won’t budge. Seems like the impact wrench is the way to go
@@paul-towers yes it will have it off in seconds
DB, coming along nicely, Did you have something to catch the crank pulley after the flywheel dropped down on the last video
as it went down with a bit of a bang, Sods law says you will break a tooth or the casting instead of the concrete lol, Cheers Dave
No just some cardboard, got too caught up in the moment, rookie mistake, luckily though no damage
