Re: [T3] Engine out..

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

While the engine's out, sort out any rust on the engine mount hangers,
check the starter bush, the clutch components for wear, the release bearing
(some replace it anyway), the gearbox mainshaft seal, the clutch operating
lever return spring; lubricate the clutch operating shaft bushes.
You may find it worth checking for any seepage from the crankshaft
oil-seal; you don't want to have to replace that soon.

I've heard it said that if you don't do the bearings, don't expect too much
more from the bottom end once the top's been done.
.
It may be a heavier engine than your (upright?) van engine, but it's much
easQet out from underneath on a Type 3.
