engine parts, now what?
I' reco-ing an engine: I've got a 1300 that I'll pull apart and probably get the seals done on it for peace of mind (whats involved and cost?)
I've also got 1641 P&C's and heads to slap together after I pull apart the 1300, so what gaskets/seals do I need to buy?
any other advice would be gold
thanks

You can probably get a set of 'engine rebuild' gaskets that should include everything you need. Are you going to pull apart the case? |

is it hard to do the seals yourself?'ve heard that you need to a bloody big breaker bar to pull the flywheel off... hows about the other side? Is
that the side with an oil slinger?

Tofu, I can lend you the tools to do it. You need a bar to stop the flywheel from turning too. I made one up a while ago.
You will also need a feeler gauge to set the end float correctly. but if you are just removing and re-installing the same flywheel you might be ok.
Will pay to get a few extra flywheel shims just in case.

yes that is right the pulley has an oil slinger. Is the flywheel seal leaking, do you need to change it ?

Thanks Dean, I might take you up on your offer, I suppose its not too hard to achieve the tolerances?
The engine case I'm going to use doesnt seem to look like its leaking, though there are a few drops of oil on the ground near the crankwheel as it
has been sitting there for a few months. I just want to be sure that the engine seals are sound so I dont have to worry about em later... Is this a
good idea? Or is it a case of "if it aint broke, dont fix it?"

the little extra time it takes to do the job is worth it ,otherwise if it does leak after engine fitment out she will have to come
