Hey all,
Whilst the engine is out and I repair the hell hole, I’d like to re-seal the engine. Definitely leaking and making a mess in the garage as well as the cloud of smoke as it warms up and the HEs cook off the fresh drips. I am new to the type IV and was wondering if you guys could give me a list of... -what seals there are to be replaced? -Order in which to replace? -recommendations on kits or vendors for needed seals? Thanks for the guidance! It’s greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

and why would you not remove flywheel and change seal while engine is out? please, do tell. with the engine out, I would get a reinz engine gasket kit, front and rear main seals, sump plate/screen and change all. infinitely easier doing oil seals pushrod tubes, f&r main seals while engine out. also good opportunity to examine flywheel/clutch, throwout bearing, bearing bushes and a good clean. and if you are feeling really nutty, examine shifter rod bushings as well, replace if needed.
