I think the solution will be alcohol or some other variant. Perhaps av gas LL100.
We’ll figure it out, unless the Greenies absolutely outlaw ICE vehicles, which I somehow doubt, but who knows.

Av gas cut with a little of Bob's pricy naphtha (stirred with a celery stick) might do it. Or get one of those new ready to drop in electric motors. That would put to bed the whole Chev 235 vs. 216 and 6V vs. 12V arguments.

...using the wreckhouse 'sawzall' method (when you absolutely completely don't care about saving the tire). One down, 3 to go. And if it goes like this one 'sawzall' is my 'tyre remouveure' method of choice for the rest.

In preparation of the engine coming back I used some of the brown paint I had mixed for the first time. Due to new (very frustrating) rules I can no longer get the chalky matt I wanted and was used on CMPs. This semi gloss alkyd enamel was the best I could find. The first coat dried more glossy than I liked but the second coat using more reducer and a slower application gave me a respectable matt I can live with. I'm quite happy with the No. 2 SCC Brown colour match.
Pics of the engine bay ready for the 216, the painted right door frame and of course the engine as pretty as it gets. |

Nice progress, Bruce, in spite of the challenges modern paints seem to throw at us.

Still, it's nice to know that if I win the lottery I can get some decent CMP paint. |

Been there. I used a chain saw . It works well, just be careful. The original Morris CS8 tyres were run flats - no spare wheel was provided. BTW thanks for the info on the modern water based paints, your engine is looking better than new !
