Hi I'm attempting to fix my 65 1123 801 engine. I bought it with siezed motor.
I've been feeding the bores diesel for several months, had it turn under duress with crank handle twice, took the head off, third piston/ sleeve liner rusty. I think it's just purely from inactivity and not blown as no water in oil, but first exhaust on manifold was chockers with carbon...
I am wondering if I can just whip the sump off with motor in and disconnect the piston, push the sleeve and piston out and replace with a new one? Also are MOT.12 liner clamps available/ and I will need to put new boots on driveshafts, is there a coupling retainer tool available or just make one up, measurements?
I am not doing a full resto, apart from brakes and suspension that needs renewing because it is fairly straight and original.
Cheers Steven
Have to do work now since later in year weather too hot to work on (seriously!) ha ha. groan.
