thanks
Thanks Paul. It was my gut feeling that it wasn't good left in that state. A friend said that while I'm in there, I may as well do the timing chain, but then, that becomes a bigger job again. I'll have to order parts from the US to do it all, so it'll be laid up for a while.
I've got the engine out of another car (a '59 Dodge Lancer), so I was hoping not to have two carcasses in the driveway! I might just plug in an electric fuel pump so that I can move it to a safe garage until I fix it properly. Hopefully it won't fall out on this trip.
Cheers, Lloyd
