Remove Rinse Replace Repeat

Our good friend Mary’s 1971 Triumph Spitfire is a little lighter this week as her engine has now been fully removed. Work continues to get her oil leaks and unusual noises diagnosed and repaired.

Our expert Technician Peter has cleaned and blacked the engine bay whilst the engines out. Hereafter work can begin repairing the engine itself.

The team have started with replacing all the lower engine gaskets and have sent the gearbox away to our specialist gearbox team.

Otherwise, there’s lots more planned on this little convertible sportscar. Including; fitting a new sump gasket, a new timing chain cover gasket, new valve cover gaskets and a new oil filter and fuel pump gasket.

Phew! That’s a lot to do! Looks like we have a busy time ahead with our little red Spitfire.
