hello to all

 

my 4K is leaking trough the oil pan gasket and i have to change it

 

my question is... do i have to remove the engine form the engine bay or i can change the gasket from below???

 

thats it, thanks in advance

It is possible to remove the sump without removing the engine (Ive done it) but its a lot of stuffing around. Far far easier to remove the engine.

What about just lifting the engine up a couple of inches?

Thats pretty much what you have to do. I might have dropped the cross member as well, can't remember. Seriously, just take the engine out, you will regret trying to do it with the engine in.

well following your advise i lift the engine to change the gasket, but one nut didnt colaborate so i have to remove the engine

 

and as is said in the rollaclub faq i increase the oil pump pressure as well

 

i have no pics of the first part :D

 

so here we go

 

it looks good

 

 

not the best place to put an engine, but...

 

there is something missing here

 

check out the gearbox :sob: :o

Love the last photo. Reminds me of Des.

Did you use a sealant anywhere on the gasket? My 3K keeps pushing the "half moon" section around the rear of the crankshaft out.

Don't do it up so tight Bulant, and if you take it off use a silicon sealant on both sides.

 

I think the common problem is to screw them up so much it squeezes the rubber out, but overall its not a brilliant design. A rear leak is very common, and the hardest to get to if you want to fix it.
