Sump off today to replace crank seals

[DeeTurbo]

If anyone's interested here's a pic of the sump, only wiped down.



I can't believe how clean it is with just a wipe.

This is how I installed the bearing cap and how I made sure the hockey seals didn't stretch out too much. It says in the Haynes manual to use thin strips no more than 0.125mm. I used a coke can, only 0.1mm thick so ideal.



I installed a new clutch release fork as the OE part rusts so wears the bushes quickly and it's one of the reasons the clutch goes heavy with the rough surface against the bush. The replacement part I sourced is zinc plated so should stay smooth and rust free for longer.



The damage from when the last release bearing failed and the fork went through the diagram spring.



I seem to have some odd wear marks on the OS drive shaft.



I also installed the newer style bushes with the rubbers seal. The bottom bush has also got a drain hole so water doesn't collect in it to cause the shaft to rust.



The bearing seems to have some odd where marks to.
