Plus a week of work with a bad back :o :o
Love the 400/4 engine as it can be done in the frame ;D ;D

Could it be the petrol caused something like a piece of the cam chain tensioner material to come off, or a bit of debris from the top end, and drop down into the gearbox? Again maybe that would be visible by removing the sump pan. On my 500 it was easy and an opportunity to remove sludge, check the strainer and put a new seal on. 🤞

I have a friend who runs a small private medical practice, providing health services to companies. He says that every day that the nurses cannot travel and work in a company costs him £5,000.

Not just nuts and bolts Bryan. Lost count of how many frame bolts i have had to oxy out.
We used to charge £85 to fit a exchange engine in the 90's and some customers thought that was too expensive and decided to take the engine out themselves. Had a few customers that had dropped there engine off a trolley jack while trying to save money. Even had one macho man who, instead of coming into the workshop and asking for help to get this engine out of his car, decided that it was a good idea to take it out himself, dropped it, then fell over it and broke his nose when he hit the floor :o
