Thanks. I assume you meant the "engine" has to be raised up (to access the front of the crank)? The engine was rebuilt some years ago apparently, but evidently only the top end was rebuilt (it had low compression in 2 cylinders so I assume they replaced rings etc. - I haven't seen the records yet, but will look at them before putting any money down on the car).
