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.
