after a few issues with my 1962 Mk1, Ive decided to take the engine out, get it converted to unleaded and maybe a re-bore and do a general check
Is there anything else I should look out for?
and can anyone recommend a garage in the Manchester area that can covert to unleaded and a re-bore
thanks
ian

Re: Removing the Engine
...always a good idea to do the diff gaskets and seals.
Remove and check the gearchange knuckle splines.
Replace the speedo drive seal.
Eyeball the clutch.

Re: Removing the Engine
Was the timing chain noisy ?
Also grease the nipple on the diff housing.
The thing is once you checking & replacing, you never stop.
