Yo CB, now you have that o ring under the dipstick holder, are you finding the oil level shown by the dipstick incorrect (because it now sits higher out of the sump)? I tried the o ring method but wasn't happy with how the holder seated itself, so I ended up using some permatex sealant around it instead, and got it to seat a bit lower
Got stuck into this DIY yesterday, with the help of Vvvtec and TbM.
Looked pretty mint under here. Old belt looking pretty much new haha
Sparkies out, getting ready to pull the belt and the rest of it off
Saucepans came in pretty handy
Crankshaft, all the belts off
Then we decided to Kswap it
Gearbox broke, so we had to put the B back in. New belt on and tensioned, Adam doing the valve clearances. He loved doing this so much, I think he has decided to become a B18c valve clearance specialist
A few hours later
Car seems to be running great. Big thanks to Adam and Alex for helping (doing) this for me, and for all the help in this thread from you guys
Wedged the pulley tool against the ground with some blocks of wood, then used a ratchet with about 1.5m of extension on the end to crack the bolt. It was still tight haha.
