I gave the block and flange one last wipe around with degrease and placed the gasket and sump pan, arranged the engine mount and hand tightened the bolts, then torqued them up. Finally a quick spay for black satin to cover any exposed metal.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.

Engine rebuild pt7...
Sump pan - with all the nuts and bolts cleaned I did a dry fit. Then I removed them using a sheet of cardboard with holes to keep the bolts in the correct order. The front left hand engine mount had been already striped and painted with nuts and bolts identified.
