Robert, the chain mail of the day was much better wearing than the Tesco jeans I use today, but not oil resistant unfortunately.

I took the engine out of my mini in july. I dont see it going back in any time soon.

I thought that was a good video. Is that engine still going strong?

The engine is still running nicely, and I'm using it to trundle to and from work quite happily. Will probably pull it again in the New Year as there are a few more mods I want to make - may even fit the DSN timing cover to it.
More importantly though, it was available to transport a bride and her bridesmaids to her wedding - the sole reason for undertaking the change in the first place.

The April 1965 BMC repair schedule book says 6.75 hours to change the crank and bearings, but doesn't say how many people can be involved.
I know I can do it faster than 11½hrs - and others here have done so - but in my defence it was a near solo effort and I did Plastigauge all the bearings.

Anyway, here is the preferred version that Mini Mag couldn't use for licence reasons:
