My turn now spanner party ( PART 3 this weekend )

[andytats]

Well after putting the car back together the ba5tard rear crank seal still leaks. So it's all get to come apart again. But we fitted two new doors & welded on a new check strap to the drivers side A piller on Ian's truck. And did the two inch suspension lift to robs disco.
Thank you Ian , rob & Brian for helping me out.
So I'll have to have another spanner party hopefully my bloody neighbour won't start cutting wood again so all the saw dust won't be blown across to my drive and getting into our eyes.

[andytats]

And a big thank you to Lisa for all the coffees and food. I promise I will drink more of the coffees next time instead of leaving them to go cold

[bobbinsjob]

Yes big thanks to Lisa for coffee n food. And to Andy rob and stretch for helping with my truck. Role on the spray party lol

Well My Andytats I have not met you but would love to meet your neighbour on one of my very hormonal inbalance days it could be your spanner parties party piece, you would have to move house afterwards . All I can say is he might be able to spit sawdust with his chainsaw but I can spit blood and guts with mine and his flippin knee caps if he wants be an A.R.S.E. H.O.L.E. don't u just love em.
O and what I was going to comment on was just because the annual BBQ has been pospond this year due to my issues with the council and the land at the back of my house doesn't mean you can HOG the spanner party BBQ theme.

You needs the flywheel on to start the engine, the starter engages with the toothy bits round the outside to turn it... You may get away with it with the flywheel on but gearbox off so long as you could bolt up the starter motor. Bit dodgy mind... and I would think that some form of engine mount would be needed to prevent the engine bouncing about and thrashing everything in sight.

Yeah ... Dan's (Hipo1024) new seal bust on us the first time we did it. Rob and I spent about 2-3 hours under there fettling away at the crank end with very fine wet and dry soaked in motor oil smoothing it down. Pig of a job when under the car in the wind and rain. Net result was the second new seal turned out fine. One thing we did do was place a block of wood under the throttle pedal and forbade Dan from rainsing the revs of the Truck above 2000 RPM for the first 500 miles to bed the new seal in. This was on a diesel though so a petrol copuld be higer revs. We also forced him to change the engine oil so no crud in the old oil could get under the new seal and ruin it. Didn't want to do it a third time, and Dan was scared of doing it by himself if it did go.

I've ordered the new rear crank seal and another clutch release bearing. Why a new bearing I hear you ask. Well when we did the clutch last weekend the carrier had a little bit missing where the spring sits. It wasn't until the new one was on the we noticed. Then just as we packed up for the day Ian found a spare carrier in his car so he gave it to me. If I get time this week ( depending on how many hours I work ) I'll start to strip it all down again may be get the gearbox out then I'll spend hours under there fettling away at the crank end with very fine wet and dry soaked in motor oil smoothing it down Before I ask for help putting it back together

[bobbinsjob]

I've got a 2 ton turfor if you need it to shift that front prop. God knows why it was so stiff

[andytats]

Well today I removed the propshafts, gearbox , clutch , flywheel. ( props and gearbox only took me 2 hours )
Now I know why it's leaking oil again

[andytats]

I have the the seal already. But have a look at the post viewtopic.php?f=32&t=56568

[stretch]

i would come mate but if i dont get this nursery done i'm in big trouble, can probably do the weekend after?

[Andytats Boss]

That's ok Brian I think the nursery is a tad more important lol and if Gemma manages to hold on until the weekend after I think you might need to be close by as she'll be really close to having them by then ....
