Oh... I didn't know there was a seal there, I thought it was sealed by the gasket. Is this the copper ring jobie? On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Not copper, just a rubber 'O'-ring. I hope! Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

mate your not the only one to do some thing like that, even worse is when you get all worked up and worried that you have left a seal out, so you strip down to replace it only to find you had used the right seal in the first place!!! Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

I fitted the engine in the car the week end before last. As I was putting the hoist away, i noticed an o ring sat on the frame of the hoist. It looked very much the right size o ring for the oil pickup pipe.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Well I've been working on Minis for nearly 20 years and I can still fook up. After putting the engine back together and getting it started I noticed a small pool of oil under the car the next morning. After much scratching of head I realised that I had forgotten the small oil seal that fits behind the O/S diff output plate; the O-seal that fits around the selector spring. TWAT. still 40 mins later and it's all fixed. dickhead,lol |

I put my transfer case on a while ago and it was a bit tricky with the timken idler as the shaft is a tight fit in the case. I was torquing things down when I heard a bit of a crack when the case snapped into place. It all truns over smoothly when I turn it over but I have a paranoia that I have damaged the bearing on the 1st motion shaft. So it will be coming appart this week! I don't want any mess ups!
