Hi, have recently purchased a 1950 Pilot that had languished in a garage for over thirty years. The car itself was still in amazing condition considering it's ordeal but sadly, as you would expect, after it's years of neglect the engine is seized. Have tried most of the common solutions ie, soaking the bores in various solutions etc., with no success so now have resolved to removing the engine to unseize and recondition. This task is now in progress but have come across a particular bolt in the 'bell housing' that I'm at a loss to see how on earth you can get to it to remove. It's situated between the rear of the starter motor housing and the clutch lever on the gear box. I have a copy of the 'Repair Manual' but find it quite lacking in detail of some of the more difficult aspects of the engine removal. Have also searched online for some more specific details but to no avail. Have a model enthusiast friend who says remove engine with gearbox attached, Is that an option? Any advice and/or help from members with personal experience of this task would be greatly appreciated or maybe direct me to any online link, book, or video that would be helpful, thanks to all in anticipation. Best, Chris

Welcome to the Forum, Chris. Experience on the Pilot car is very limited here. I suggest that you contact UK Regional Group 27 to see if you can get some better help. http://www.earlyfordv8.co.uk/index.html Tom
