What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Bruce, you have my sympathy.

I find that getting the engine in and out of my RP is a bit of a chore as the flywheel snags on just about everything. I dismantle the one side of the throttle shaft and I notice that someone before me has bent the top of the scuttle aperture into a crude flange so that the flywheel doesn't catch there. Mind you, I take the engine and gearbox out together and put them back the same way. I recall difficulties with 'the Devil's spline' from my youth!

I too suffer from vertigo, but not, fortunately when I lie down. My problem in that respect is getting back up again. If I can get into a kneeling position, then I can get up, but getting into kneeling position when one has been on one's back can present it's own problems. But don't ask me to change a light bulb. Even standing on a chair I get giddy. And there is no way you could coax me up a ladder!

It must be an 'Anno Domini' thing.

Good luck with getting the bottom end of your engine repaired.

David.
