ok so i'm looking at my engine sat there all sad and un loved..wondering if it a good idea for me to give it a go and clean it strip it check it over( not that i know what i'm really looking for   ) and rebuild it? remembering up till now i've only split an engine and box and put them back together (and they still worked :rock: ) other than that it's just been the bolt on bits that i've change...so is it really a good idea...or do i save up and what the local mini shop will charge me? it's been sat for years..i had it turning over when i first got it but never started...it still turns freely by hand...

so suggestions..tips...hints..links to engine building for dummies   and possible draw backs and damage i could easily do..as always your comment are not only welcome but needed...

not sure what's going on with my photos..but i didn't touch them honest
anyway bit cold out there today so the plan is get lots of tea breaks and see if we get anything done

not much done today..needed to clean up a bit to be able to get at anything...between that and the cold just the rear door step go done...still needs a bit more welding and a lot more grinding
