I've got a few jobs that require decoupling the Vetus from the engine block:
Changing engine mounts
Changing the Vetus rubber coupling parts
Replacing an oil seal/gasket on the flywheel bell housing (it's very leaky!).
I've trawled the threads and got a fair idea of what to do for the most part (I think!), so thanks to all who contributed, but still have a few questions:
What engine mounts are used on SM 97's with a TMD 22 engine - there seems to be plenty of discussion on the subject but no definitive answer?
How exactly does the alignment tool (designed by Eric Freedman I think) work in practice?
There is a bit of discussion about 'the trick' to avoid cutting the heads off the coupling bolts - how does this work in practice?
Anything else you think I should consider while it's all apart? I have the added complication of a prop alternator fitted to the shaft by the way :/
