Dismantling Starts
As reported in my first blog, three stuck exhaust valves,
scuppered any chances of getting the Ensign’s 1670cc engine to start up. So,
one of the first dismantling jobs was to remove the dynamo, distributor, coil,
starter motor, water pump, exhaust downpipe and silencer, manifolds and
propshaft. The engine itself however would have to remain in situ until HMC’s
workshop manager returned from holiday when proper lifting gear could be made
available.
