John Cleese may well say that, but Don Walker says "When the war is over, got to start again"... ;D

Oh, and before FCCOOL gets the spelling police onto you, it's grille. ;D

Guys,
Bit the bullet this weekend and removed the grille. Not too bad a job, except for the bolts underneath the pillars, god knows how i will get them back in. Any way its now ready to remove the engine and gearbox, next weekend.

Well, the engine is now out of the car. Will it ever go back???? Easier than  I thought, apart from getting the angle correct for lifting.
Parted the gearbox from the engine and removed the camshaft.

Does anyone know the part number for a standard 186 camshaft and is it stamped on the end of the shaft, aluminium gear end???

It looks like a cast camshaft, and it looks in good nick, no scuffing or marking on the lobes. Followers are hydraulic and they look excellent.

Are the standard pistons flat top???

Any info greatful,

Grah.
