I have a bit of an oil leak from the bottom end pain in the arse as ive just got it running and now ive got to fook about with this but hey ho thats why we love old fords aint it....................no its coming from the front somewhere,semms to getting on the crank pully and spraying all over my brand new dizzy etc ,im going to buy a bottom end gasket kit,am i better off just changing all the gaskets or is it more likely to be one than another can i change all the bottom end gaskets without having to take the engine out,any help advice appreciated

Could be any of them seals or gaskets mate. Got my engine in bits at the mo, got every gasket and seal ever made so it better not bloody leak when its finished !!!!!

 

as for doin it insitu...... possible but would be MUCH easier with it out !

Cheers fellas,think the first thing i'll do then is nip up the sump bolts,make sure they're not loose,give it a clean up and then see what happens

yes m8 , just make sure you glue the half moon sump seal

back in and it doesnt move when you reinstall the

crank seal housing,

any probs give me a ring
