hope thats the problem right there. Removing it on your own, that aint so bad, but re-installing it on your own without the proper tools ....... :cray::cray::cray: thats a doozy right there

Ordered a new rear main oil seal and new seal housing should sort that issue. Also have a baffeled sump on route will put it all on at once while it's all off its having oil and filter plugs dizzy and rota arm change sort a few minor oil and coolant leaks then hopefully it stops being a c*n* for a few months and I can start doing a few track days and enjoy it :)

decied im going to helicoil the 2 threads that have decied to no longer do there job am i right in saying that they are m6 bolts ?

Not sure about the M6 but what i did was get some 11 mm head bolts & a tap to suit. That route is a bit simpler than the helicoil.

It happens all the time, we forget that the end bolts on the crankcase screw into aluminum (oil pump & rear crankshaft seal housings) & not steel as the rest of the block. I got 3 11mm bolts out of 4 in mine nw. :)

So got the helicoil's fitted today that was fun. Sump resealed again. Just the box to get back in now. Change the cambelt as I'm not sure if I went a bit to deep with the drill and snagged it so changing it for piece of mind. Chuck the service bits on then I can enjoy the car for a bit.
