Despite the engine only having 55,000km on it, it is still at least 12 years old and all the rubber will be starting to dry out. If you can afford it, I would suggest replacing all rubber components while the engine is out and save yourself the headache of having a leaky rear main seal or an old timing belt snapping.

mm ok, will do.

And coz its piss easy to do while engine is out

i wouldn't know how to find out what seals i need ay. :p

Double half moon seals + the gasket kit from Camskill is a good start.

Can you give me more detail on the half moon seals please?

i searched gasket kit on camskill and couldn't find. Could you get link please?

Double half moon -> http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b0s9p7627/_ ... R_GX%29%0A

Supplanter had the engine gasket link in the post above.



edit: U need 2 of the double half moon seals, so do not just order one.

Ok, just some advice on shipping from camskill.

If you order the gasket kit, postage will be very expensive, and it will cost nothing extra(postage-wise) to get other stuff in the package, like lead coils, engine + air filters, as long as they are not too heavy, which is what I did. Ended up ordering about $900/- in total.


There might be one more seal/gasket I forgot to mention. Will try and look for my receipt from last year.

900!! f**k that. That's how much the engine is costing LOL

why would you replace the valve cover related seals if they are not leaking??? It's not much harder to replace the rocker gaskets with engine in!

I was talking about the rear main seal lol

Might be $700/- after looking through the old emails.
I went alittle nuts and ordered Magnecor leads, droplinks, bushes, dog arms, the air+oil+fuel filter kit and the timing belts+pulleys kit.

My car was a lemon anyway, so loads of stuff needed to be changed.

Drive like its on rails now, so no regrets.
