fender1234 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 hi, whilst the gearbox is off being rebuilt i noticed a little puddle of engine oil on the floor, which it looks to me like it weeping around where the flywheel housing joins the engine. My theory is thats its weeping out because the engine tipped right back because the gearbox isnt on. anyone have any ideas on the situation? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fender1234 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 just realised what you meant how do i find the ladder frame bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A lot of the sump bolts are also the ladder frame bolts, but there are a few others outside of the sump pan lip that hold it on by themselves - 5-more on a Disco engine if I remember right.
