cheers ROBBO...a good day yesterday,probs 50 ish miles and a good lunch
had a lay in this morning, not up untill 9am not like me
.............
bit more done this morning,pump is now out, took a short cut this time, managed to get it out without removing the clutch, a HUGE time saver , just enough room in there to slide the water pump end out of the engine casing, easing that end down and looping off the drive chain the other end...
couple of pictures showing the failed O ring oil seal and also the water pipe mounting bolt hole clearly bored all the way through, engine casing is about 10mm thick in that area which i would of thought was deep enough without boring all the way through......
