Ahh theres alot of Hype about engine rebuilds, i think the hardest bits getting it in and out and it looks like you have that in hand.

Just get yourself a rebuild Vid and your laffing, Can\'t go wrong.

If you want a Tip, Whilst the engine is still sort of in the car it may be worth you cracking the main pulley Bolt off (its a bit of a Pig as some people on here will tell you :)) Air guns and Big Compressors are good for this.
