Such chaotic design compared to the logical well set out 403.

There is a pack of shims behind the pulley they maybe are flogged out .
Idiot that assembled my 62. Left them out and wondered why the motor was locked
Crankshaft sprocket nut (461494) has come loose. Rebuilder did not torque it to the proper 144 ft. lbs and/or did not properly peen the lock washer over the nut.
These things are impressive even today. Most people have never seen a Bibax joint or been able to marvel at the practice of cushioning a driveshaft.... the sliding spline concept on the OUTside of the universal joint must be unique. I have written recently on AF about the disastrous Rover plan with fixed length driveshafts. A splined shaft typically Triumph 2000 causes considerable binding.
Back in the day the local agent had special long shafted spanners built ( about a metre long ) so the bolts around the bell housing could be accessed horizontally from about the nose of the gearbox and the engine left in place. Did you find any of the unique flat sided bolts ? . IIRC there were two. Probably replaced by conventional bolts by now.
well ... bugger it all. I better break out the exploded parts diagram so I can what controls crank float. I'm guessing the motor is probably toast.
