Re: List of parts for engine change

you will be doing well if you can re use the exhaust manifold gasket, i'd get a new one for what they cost, its a PITA to have to re do a blowing one next week On my car (same gasket) I've had the manifold on and off at least 5 times, would have thought it fine to re-use it, though it's crap to get...

Re: Return of the MR2 ?

Re: Black mk1's

Mmmmm... that Sherwood colour scheme is very nice. If I ever do a full respray on the SC I'd certainly consider that. Very nice. P No, no, no don't do it! SC's were never in this colour! I guess it's a matter of personal taste really. Not a fan of anything that involves green myself! ;) Kev Crazyle...

Re: Oil Leak

Camshaft oil seal/seals sounds favourite, impossible to say unless you take it apart to be honest. could be from the cam cover seal, or the cam seals as Paul says, but could just as easily be from the bottom of the engine and be being thrown back up by the cam belt, no way of deffinately knowing un...
