Crankcase oil leak - easy repair?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hi
   Agree with Bitsa, the alternator cover should hold the plug in place, the "O" ring is the seal, I pushed mine in with a smear of hyomar by hand-no problem---Ken

That plug is the end of main oil gallery and yes to clear all shite out is good but putting back its not titanics rivets just place back square if you like and tap home all the covers should do the rest.As for the wire grommets clean refit with a bit of decent gasket goo and all should be ok
Best of luck
Bitsa

You could always remove the engine, split the crankcase and do the whole bloody rebuild thing all over again!

Ah ha... this forum comes to the fore once again!!!

I had put the bloody thing in the wrong way so that the pointy end was inside the engine and thus not facing outward to be retained in place by the alternator cover.

I shall continue my little project at the weekend with renewed vigour (and renewed oil).

Thank you all,

D.

p.s. Mike: made me laugh out loud, ta.
p.p.s. I wonder what else I've put in the wrong way around... might not be laughing for long!

I don't know if you've got a parts book but they're handy for determining the orientation and sequence of parts.  Failing that, it's on the interweb somewhere.
