Removing sheet metal shroud to access fan on the front of the engine without removing the engine? Is it possible? Thanks

Just my .02 but I think you should drop the engine. The time you spend trying to deal with that seal in-place will probably be equal to or greater than the time it takes to drop and reinstall. Plus you’ll have a much better sense of exactly where the leak is coming from. Also, with a fresh engine rebuild, you’ll more easily be able to check head bolt torque and do a valve adjustment

No need to do a torque check or valve adjust as it has 20 miles on it. Stay on topic is it possible? |
