8 years after rebuilding the 2.2 motor, some minor oil leaks have finally pushed me to drop the engine and get them sorted. One turned out to be at the scavenge outlet but the other looks like the the front IMS cover - hence the need to pull engine for access.
  Love/hate these old engines! - Tony |

While in the neighborhood check the radial seal at the pulley and ... the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) O ring on the # 8 crank bearing.

( Tony is that my old fiberglass 'tin' ? ) Yes it is! The various pieces needed some fettling to fit, but works well and looks fantastic. Very happy with the purchase. And, appreciate the pointers to check out for leaks. I suspected the main pulley seal - but that seems dry and intact. Next culprit may be the IMS cover plate - but need to go slow and be sure; I don't want to have to do this again too soon. @mepstein Your surprise is duly noted. - Tony |
