Parrafin cheaper than water based stuff and works a charm, I've saved all the mucky stuff and will sediment off the crap and reuse it
Love the dish washer idea, but think my wife would deffo kill me
The normal technique is to wait until she is out

Bad boy came out to remove the crank pulley bolt...
Got it cracked off then used 3/4, then 1/2 breaker bar to wind it out as it got closer to the rad - I'd already lifted the bottom of the rad out of the peg holes and pushed it forward, then put a sheet of ali down to stop me punching holes in it:
Pulley and damper off - dunno why I removed the 3 bolts, the timing pin in the flywheel held it solid so I didn't need to brace on those. Damper is in great shape:
Viscous pulley off:
Sump bolts removed, cross member off, pot jack between chassi and axle to give clearance, then the sump can slide out towards the axle:
Timing cover off, vac pump drain disconnected:
Timing chain, and oil pump chain, oil pump bolt is tight.
Stiffener/pump assembly, no lumps or bits in the sump which is good:
Broken tensioner guide and chain and sprocket off, the chain is flexing freely and not holding kinks, and there's no excessive lateral sag so it's going back in. Sprocket being replaced though - cheers Aaron!
Clean up the sump and timing cover next - then just need to grab the replacement guide and sprocket and it's time to reassemble.

excellent post this,well done and keep up the great work and pics.
Cheers, feels like a bit of an uphill struggle at the moment.
I'm seriously considering dropping the gearbox and tbox off so I can replace the rear crank seal - Gearbox rebuild isn't too far from done, just waiting on a replacement main case and I'm in no rush tbh.
Think I'm going to polish and lacquer the timing cover and sump too just for ****s n giggles

NOT BOTHERED.

if you think the seal needs doing,then do it now while you can,better now than later.at least it will give you more confidence in it when it is finally back on the road.

Would it not be easier to lift the engine out to do rear crank oil seal, Well what's left of it
Oh and top work

Yeah if I had an engine crane.
I'm in the process of rebuilding a gearbox and tbox though -> http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/lt230-rebuild-247618.html

Yep seen that
Fair play if you're going to put the new box in at the same time. If not it'd be engine out for me.
Welcome to borrow my engine crane if it makes life easier

Hmmm
Have a think about it. Or when you come down we'll have a chat about it then. Either way the offers their if needed
