Wellseal wellseal wellseal!

Blue hylomar is SHITE! IMO!

Easiest way to do it is to place the engine upside down and lower the (lighter) gearbox down onto it.

Don't forget the half moon seal or oil pick-up o-ring. The o-ring can be retained with a dab of silicone sealer so it doesn't fall out whilst the box is upside down!

There is a post of mine with pictures in of when I was doing this if you do a search.

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

i used wellseal too *smiley* it seems ok now but i've only got the oil pressure up and not started it yet.

seems fine.

i used plenty of it too! dont want it leaking!!!

Its dead simple, i'm getting the other half of a set of Unbrako allen head bolts as well on wednesday should you want to upgrade. i've got to change then back ones with the engine in but i'm sure this wont be that hard. atleast i got the engine in!

If you can't get wellseal, I have had good results with black RTV silicone in the past, this is more easily obtainable, and FAR better than poxy blue Hylomar (did I mention I hate hylomar?)

I hate Hylomar after using it following the directions to the letter on every gasketed joint on an engine I built, and then it leaked oil like a bloody sieve!! I vowed not to use it again!

The factors I use in Rotherham sell it off the shelf. The only other place I have ever been able to buy it was my engine machinist who bought it from the wholesaler. From memory it is expensive about £10 per tube, although it does go a long way. I have had the same tube for 5 years and use it regularly. It is best applied with a small brush I find.

If people want, I can find out a definate price and buy it from the factors and post it?
