Sump off today to replace crank seals

[DeeTurbo]

That really is super clean, bearings are as good as any i've seen come out of a used engine. Fair play for looking after it so well!

That's is very reassuring to hear from another person.

i'm doing the same thing this week end if mine look this good and thay should i will be pleased

Please let us know how you got on.

I found with mine the hockey seals were fine and I think the weeping was coming from between the sump and the block that side. The actual large oil seal wasn't too bad ether.

The bit I hated most on the job was the bearing cap bolts, they were so tight and to do them up to the right torque and angle was difficult.

On the way home from work I could smell a slight smell of oil. I've just been out, had the engine tray off and it seems there is a bit of oil coming from the drive shaft seals both side, drivers side might be the speed sensor housing.

I've given it a wipe around, left the tray off for now so I can check in the morning and after the trip to work.

The drive shaft seals I've used are the newer type without the plastic ring and I might have knocked the OS one in too far.



should there be this much gap between the gearbox and driveshaft?
