WHS, a four cylinder engine will come to rest in one of two positions, 180 deg. apart, so it needs to be moved to either 60 or 90 deg. from the original position.

Got it to bits & cannot move the flywheel through quater turn as there is a dowel ring gear is worn out in 2 places but the clutch plate etc is in good condition. im trying to get away with just changing the ring gear but no one seems to sell them! ive had a look online & a flywheel kit is €500+.. ebay sells this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360531776911? ... #vi-ilComp
so i will probably get this when i come back to blighty in a few days time.. will post pics later

Could you build up the missing teeth with weld and grind it back to the correct shape? I have seen that done to a tractor.

Rich, remove the dowel!

That may not work, on my Matra the flywheel is also held on by six bolts, but they are unevenly spaced, so the flywheel will only fit in one position. I think BL E series engines are similar, but it's a long time since I worked one.

Also check that the crank sensor doesn't run off the flywheel, otherwise if you move it the engine won't run.
