hoff Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 It was just lucky nobody could see my computer screen at work.

hoff Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The bar didn't damage it either, just helped prise it away:blink: To be fair its quite an easy job for someone who knows what they are doing, the worst bit was seperating it from the gear box because the engine was ceased and the conrod knackered we couldnt turn the crank:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Sorry the highjack. Its a crap thing to happen but hopefully you can sort itfor a good price.
