09 -. The girl comes home, thanks RAC

With motor inside freshly painted

No engine, no brakes and lots of encouragement



Thanks to the collaboration of the RAC we got back to the car parking space

Now we just wait for the motor to arrive.

08 - . Entering matter ...

In the workshops of Delta Injection Lleida Street 5, with Gonzalo by removing the engine :














Get him .













The origin of evil, a head gasket " · unpresentable " and an offset of liner sets.



























The camshaft ..... I do not like it, it must be replaced.

The new cylinder head ought to be ready for unleaded petrol was freshly replaced . Then it was found that neither new nor aluminum ...

The boy who had mounted the exhaust gasket and changed the cylinder head was covered with glory The bgasket is upside down, you see at the bottom left is left
a hole that does not get the board? well ... not talk about " it."















The crankshaft , grinding will be perfect

Liner sets and pistons for demolition .




































We have spread the TR4 three different locations of Barcelona, ​​and that the block and the cylinder head is still hike them go to another shop ! Will we see it all together again ? And running? Don't loose the next the chapters.


           The body painting in Sans quarter, the engine rebuilding in Poble Sec qt. and the rest in the parking in Les Corts.

07 -.'s Ban "because as..." opens

"because as ..." we have taken the engine out, we will clean up and paint the engine room.

and sure this will not be the last "because as".

The car is in the hands of "Talleres Manel" www.talleresmanel.blogspot.com







































































The RAC has made the move to the paint shop. Thanks to RAC who has translate the body, and it was not easy to move the body out from un underground parking, with no brake, with no engine and a lot of columns to be dodged.

06.- The engine goes away

Degreasing and cleaning













Ready to paint the chassis
















Painted chassis with black paint










































Loading the engine  .... transfer engine to start Gonzalo workshop repair.

The story will continue now in two different locations.

05 -. Third day, cleaning the gearbox

Beneath the grime the gearbox and overdrive appears

it looks clean, but there is a lot of work to be done.

04 - . Second day , came the beast

Well !
It was possible to remove the engine and allow the gearbox to the frame , the trick has been to support the housing on previously stable support to prevent the vacuum is suspended from the center support the clutch.




























With the hood removed , taking the strength to start the assault

To properly secure the change below , gaining needed space under the TR to locate the hydraulic minicrick , so I have asked the TR to step on the sidewalk , first one leg and then the other . Good boy.

We have already understood what it meant:

"déposer l'accouplement de crémaillière", 

but you do not completely remove it , just roll back the leg bracket to the engine sits on the shilling has room to block out , for it is only necessary to completely remove the two nuts from the bracket.














At this point , Dani starts the tasks of lifting motor.

Lifting motor

And it seemed clean, now is work cleaning, degreasing and painting of the engine area .

.... and now - after taking a breath - a look around us , it is a luxury to work surrounded by vehicles deposited in Storage

Working surrounded by Ferraris, Porche , Austin -Healey ...Jaguar, Mercedes...

03.- First disassembly day

No way back! Accompanied by Dani , Storage mechanic that is leading me by the hand ...

The real challenge for executives is to recognize

you are always a learner.

The second challenge is to listen and learn from those who knowhow.

The feeling of having a Webber on hand.

Will we be able to return it to its place? Let's hope.

The radiator weighs his own , but there is no doubt

where it must return .... front of the fan .

 It's already released the right side of the engine

The left is some work to be done.

Consider, now the TR is out radiator , no battery, no fan, no starter , no alternator, 

no carbs no exhaust manifold without the intake , Capless delco or cables and I've retired,

 in inside the vehicle , the lid covering of the the clutch, gearbox and overdrive .

We'll just try to get the engine out or we'll have to remove it assembled with gearbox and overdrive.

The next chapter will not miss ...
