Evening all. What are the general thoughts on using the original bearing journals? i have stripped the engine down and they look good. Would you just plastigauge them when reassembling or go for new?

Evening all. i am after some advice if possible from the font of knowledge on here. I am struggling to separate my engine cases. I have followed the good ole Haynes manual to the letter but i just cannot seem to separate them. Have tried lots of different size persuasion tools but they just wont budge. Is there a bolt that the book doesn't show? Do you need to remove the alternator off the shaft? i have seen many videos where they don't. Is there a bolt under the sump plate near the oil pump? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

Evening allMind has been made up about the engine strip for me. Turned it over to look at the bottom and oil contaminated with water poured out.!! Now struggling to remove the alternator flywheel centre bolt loose. Has Anyone struggled to remove this before? If so how did you get it out without doing any damage. Thanks

Cheers gents. I think that is the way i am going to go, just dubious on how much money i will put into this project. Will just have to drip feed without the missus noticing lol. Any advice on the best place to get parts around the UK?

Thanks Trigger. The potion brought all the pistons up a treat and they were in great condition apart from one ring that i could not get off and slightly damaged the piston  . I am having trouble deciding how far to go with the engine. So far the top end is in bits and will get a full service, valve seats and pistons, bored or honed. The bottom end feels really smooth and there isn't any noticeable horrors that i can see. What are peoples thoughts? Should i continue to strip it all the way down or just rebuild the top and try and get a running machine? Open to suggestions.

Evening, i have just taken the pistons off and have noticed that on numbers 1 and 4 the rings are fully compressed. Any tips how to get them off? They are soaking at the moment.
