MY '97 pulling engine off gearbox
#2
Am I Missing something, Have stripped every thing off my motor prior to using a hoist to remove it from the car. That includes the 4 bell-housing bolts from the gearbox. Have had to use levers to get it split and now have a gap of say 15mm all round. Something is holding it, seems to spring back as I try to pull.....what???

have you removed the release bearing/clutch fork pin?
remove plug next to starter and screw in a m6 bolt and pull to release the pin.

Agree with Mr T.
See this http://bbs.22b.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000461.html
Although it was for the gearbox but same priciple.. Mr Wallis kindly added pictures..
The bung on mine was flipping tight to get undo to remove the large pin.. had an allen key (10mm) with a bar on the end and thought the allen key was going to snap.
Good luck

Thank a lot..can be fun without a manual!!!
Pics are real good
Sending the motor to APIengines.com, has thrown a rod, we don't have the machine shops over here in the Island to do crank re-grinds etc
He's quoted me £1450 plus vat for a guaranteed rebuild
what do you think?
Cheers

He tells me they did 110 scooby engines last yr and 100 were rods thrown cyl nearest to Turbo (3?),main prob being the oil pump. others were pistons, does that sound right to you?
