Sump removal

[Niles]

Can the sump be removed & reinstalled with the engine in place? Is there a sump gasket or is the gasket 'liquid'?

[Rufe]

The sump can be removed with engine in place, and its liquid gasket mate. we use pn 1161059 and its pink in colour. I sell this for £30.37 including vat and including royal mail 2nd class recorded delivery. If interested please send me a pm or email and I can get you an order reference number and ordering details.

Well yes, but the boys here tell me they have to raise the engine slightly up off the bed.

LOL, you have never taken the engine out of one of these or taken the head off one, the head is a major job,

Sorry Simon, i should've asked time quote wise for the head off as well, or to fit new rods if you have that?
