Re timing a completely stripped 4 pot

I have finally removed my engine from my 1970 2000TC.

i will be stripping it completely, and examining all aspects of the unit.

as such, the cam and crank locking positions will be lost.

is there a definitive “ start from scratch” reassembly document. I believe I am comfortable in which way I should approach re-assembly, but after 30 years since my last venture ( spoiled with company cars ) the now seriously aging grey cells may need realiging too.

also, where are the best places to go for big end, mains and cam bearings, piston rings etc, besides the obvious use of MGBD, WIINS, WADHAMS ?
 
The factory Rover workshop manual is very comprehensive and well written. I would look on eBay or if you’re a member of the club but the CD-Rom from them. It’s well worth it

As for bearing shells, standard main and big end bearings are getting hard to find. The above mentioned may have them, failing that a quick google bearing suppliers might be your best bet.
 
Thank you for your rapid response. I have the full original manual, and as look would have it, I have just ordered the cd a few days ago.
I will have a read through the manual.

Google it is then for the bearings etc.

have a great weekend, and stay safe
