Plugs look awesome! I can't believe this... put a wrench on the harmonic balancer and the engine spins with just two fingers' worth of effort! Easy, quiet rotation after sitting since the mid 70s! Drained the coolant. No rust, looks like no contamination at all! I can't believe it has held up like this through the years. There is a short YouTube video (my free website server does not allow me to put video content on my page)... the link is https://youtu.be/3Rnulf8YvVI Started the process to remove the engine. Took a bit of time and the use of the very handy digital copy of the original Austin Healey Sprite Service Manual which I found online. (AH Part# 97H1585C, Austin Healey Sprite Mk 1 Workshop Manual, Spridget Guru Tech Library - Factory Manuals). Basically I removed the radiator and searched about looking for any lines that were attached to the engine and labelling all of them. I also tried to get my camera into tight spaces to find identifying marks on the block. Not sure how well this will work. May need to do more to identify the engine after it's pulled.
