Hi lads.
When bolting the bellhousing to the gearbox would you torque the bolts and then when bolting it to the engine does it get torqued.

Hi Marc

I got one from Richard Smith a few years ago, don't think any one is making them,

Regards John

Thank you guys.
I did see that Brian on Car SOS thanks Stuart

Thanks lads for the reply, its a 3.8 sump smooth side how much is it worth

Hi does anyone know could this sump be repaired, It came on a 4.2 engine that I replaced with 4.2 sump.
Would it be worth trying to fix it as it is badly

Yes it would be very easy to drop one of the bits in to the engine. Thanks

Yes the spring was there it was just stuck fairly solid and I should not of taped it in, Once out and cleaned works fine.

So I took it apart and the plunger still stuck solid. Discovered it would move in a circle so I got a grips on it and moved it from left to right and worked it out after about 30min of struggling with it.

Thanks Andrew I will give that a go

Hi Lads. I have a bad rattle from the upper timing chain and went to tighten it and the locking plunger on the adjustment that tightens the chain was stuck. It tapped in easy but I cant get it out now. Any idea on how to get it out now.

I got a new set of arms from Richard Smith.

AJS Engineering Services have the crown and pinion made up as well.

I'm just saying what Barratts told me I have not done the job yet.
Simon Cottrill from Barretts said the screws are Taptite Screws.

Yes I think so

I to just got the SNG hold down kit and I have emailed barratts asking what size tap to use. They say not to use a tap and just a 3.9 drill bit. But I have not fitted them yet,

Thanks Angus.

What way is the propshaft meant to fitted, the peace that moves to adjust the length of the prop goes to the front of the car or back.
