@ NA-PWR : (21 August 2015 - 11:09 PM) I love the rain, but a Shed is good, tell you what, I will do an hour on the RAT Sunday

[Ice]

He needs to do more than an hour

[N/A-PWR]

Ok Rob,

 

I did 2.5 hours cleaning up the shed, 

 

1.5 hours removing the 'K' frame easily, 

 

and here are some photo steps to tilt the body up off the 'K' Frame,

 

whether the car has full interior or not.

 

Also, when the gearbox is there, just undo the tail-shaft,

 

cross-member, clutch, speedo cable and any engine connections:-

love the wheelstand idea!!!  neat.

[N/A-PWR]

Yes Col, thank-you.

 

This is how I change out a blown up motor,

 

and roll in the already ready 'K' frame with short motor on,

 

and then roll back in after doing the head and cam swap. 

 

takes about 3 to 4 hours.

[Ice]

If your going to work under that i would be wanting you to make a support bar under the very front Dave
saftey first bud
great idea though
Start stripping bro

[N/A-PWR]

Yes Gene boss,

 

this method is good for certain v8's,

 

so you can change the spark plugs. 

Was told about this method by a Torana Drag racer DJ, 30 odd years ago.

[rodomo]

Sadly Dave, as your pics aren't date stamped, it never happened.

[N/A-PWR]

But Gene only gave me the Press yesterday. 

 

 

Sadly Dave, as your pics aren't date stamped, it never happened.

[N/A-PWR]

Rob only wanted pictures, and now he has changed his mind,

 

 and now want's a time stamp in the Photo's, I wish I knew that. 

[N/A-PWR]

Ok Rob,

Ha ha DJ,

 

 

 

Is showing times for reference purposes.

[Covert]

Well done Dave, it getting the car back down gently a one man job or do you need a mate to help?

[N/A-PWR]

Almost a perfect balance Mav,

 

Just only need to add weight to the boot as needed,

 

as this the way she is,

 

 is movable up or down with a finger.

[Covert]

Cool, I didn't realise it was that easy

[N/A-PWR]

Yes Mav,

 

 

 

As you can imagine,

 

 

 

you just need to give it a yank,

 

 

 

 to break loose from the 'K' frame.

[Covert]

Your a man of many talents Dave

[N/A-PWR]

Thank's Mav,

 

So next job is moving the 'K' frame out of the way,

 

and tilting the body down at front,

 

then remove the rear end.

[rodomo]

Ok Dave, sorry, well done. Just one tech question? Was the grease dilithiumupselfide or clackeraplugside?

[N/A-PWR]

G'day Rob,

 

the grease is - LITHPLEX TAC EP2, superior multi purpose high temperture.
