Hi Barry
Given that I seem to recall that you can't get the timing cover off without raising the engine clear of the front of the chassis, that sounds like a good plan. For my own part, given that, when I last had the engine apart to cure the block to crankcase oil leak, everything looked in good order and the car is running well (now I have replaced the fuel line), I can't see that I shall be taking my engine out any time soon. In the meantime, the dog collar is doing a sterling job and adds a certain jaunty 'je ne sais quoi' to the look of the car.
