A new engine build required the engine to be removed from the car to replace a broken oil pump gasket on the new Mellling oil pump. As the engine was out I thought I'd do a double check of the valve clearances as this was one of the root causes issue of carb backfire/popping. Got a shop towel caught within the oil pump gears as I was hand turning the engine over by the blower fan. Broke the oil pump drive tang. Two pcs of the drive tang are now in the cam reservoir of the crankcase. Any chance of getting these things out without splitting the case again ???
Just sick over this development (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
