Engine stand...

Been busy with work and visiting universities with my son over the last couple of weeks, so only spent the odd hours getting items ready for the rebuild.

I give the sump pan its first coat of paint which now rubbed down for second when weather warms up.

Striped and cleaned oil pump and filter bowl which has had a first coat of paint.

Also clean and prepped some parts for blasting - engine/gearbox mounting brackets, gearbox crossmember, tie bar and other odd items.

Also fixed the engine on to the stand - lifted into place easily and with ability to the spin the engine allows good access.
