Would not know if the belts been changed, prob needs a new one so I will get a new one, going from under the car seems to be a good way of getting it in n out,

I have the motor in atm no gearbox cause the clutch n fly needed replacing n machining, when clutch is installed I will put on the box meeting the two half way...

has the timing Belt been replaced in living memory?

It's not an expensive item and u will have to remove the camshaft gears so if you have the radiator out then it can be done thru the front.

I have had good success with lifting the car up and dropping out the engine, g/box, cross-member , etc (remember to disconnect the steering bar under the engine)
