Hey guys,

Looking to re-seal and possibly add some baffles to the sump in rb26 32gtr in the next couple of days as its got a slow leak. Being used to typical RWD layout and comparing to this engine it seem just about the whole bottom front half of the car has to be removed pinch.gif With alot of the stuff i'm trying to gett my head around.

Anyone have any tips for removal/reinstallation, as in any seal/fluids that will need to be replaced.

Cheers, Joe

my only tip is that it's really an engine out job. some people will say it can be done in car but it probably wouldn't be any easier than just removing the engine and doing it that way.

Can the sump be cut out with the k-frame still on, and welded back on (I think that's what the Trust sump extension does)?

not a good idea. how do you get to the inside? and how would you test it for leaks? how would you set the pick-up height? just do it properly.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
