A huge thanks to all that came yesterday to help.
Thank you to Steve, Lee, Mike, Martin, Tom, Si, Alex, Sarah and of course Mark.
We got everything out all okay, though unfortunately the new engine looked a bit risky to be putting in. So, we whipped the head off the new engine to have a look inside. It looked tired and had evidence of some serious oil leaks.
No idea what I'm going to do, but it's looking increasingly likely that a rebuild will be on the cards.
How the bay looks:

We have decided we are going to refresh the 'new' engine with new rings, mains and big end bearings. We will get the block refaced, honed and cleaned too.
Also I can't help but mention that a certain person of the Sailor variety turned up in one of these, talk about surprise!

Excellent! I'm glad to hear you've made this decision, I think it's the right thing to do

Saturday morning and work begins:
Si looks busy:
Lee adopts the 'bearding' stance:
Steve in action:
New engine:
Block and box in situ:
There is nothing more important than a cup of tea!
Si looking deadly serious:
The support vehicles:
View of the action from the yard:
New engine:
Engine and box coming out:
And out it comes!
Hmm then the Sailor makes an entrance!
The 'new' engine looked a little tired, so off with it's head!
Took the sump off the old engine:
The bearding team:
Next job is to recon the new engine and refresh the bottom end.
Thanks all for the help!
Martin, we have your 14mm socket. We are guessing you might have ours by mistake. Can bring it to JAE.

Just been and checked. My 14 is missing, so if you have a Draper Expert one then that's probably mine. I don't have your's though...
Nice photo documentation though

Damn, oh well, the search continues (I'll just buy another).
I'll bring your's to JAE.
