Engine seize after complete engine rebuild

<< < (3/3)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As a serial worrier I would be concerned that the excess crank case sealant might lead to an issue with the main bearing clamping causing excess clearance or loss of oil flow elsewhere. As has been said more likely the sealant has entered the oil galleries.
I hope its not caused damage to the internals - removal of sump & oil filter should help you decide the best way forewards as has been already said.

Laverdaroo:
It's probably the angle of dangle of the photograph or the fact that you might have moved the internals during getting the cases apart, (especially with all the silicon on there). BUT, I was having a quick look and the Primary chain is well 'on the wonk' and looks to be running at an angle. Is it the former and the latter or are my eyes getting worse?

Deano400:
It's because there's no primary shaft holding the primary drive in place. Primary shaft is in the lower case when assembled.

Laverdaroo:
I thankyou. ;D
Thought that might be something to do with it but you gotta ask haven't yer?
See, I told you I knew nowt ;) ;D ;D
