    Six appeal - six cylinder Land Rovers - let's see them!

    BEARINGS

    well we made a slide hammer to the bearing cap and hammered away until the steel strap 25 x 1 with a sump bolt deformed and the bolt head punched through. buggrit. i'll leave it. sounds really smooth now but the front crank oil seal is leaking a drip every 10 seconds.....

    I have short legs and long arms so a straight lever is preferred.
