Ball ache. Turns out I have a lightened balanced flywheel and had a paddle clutch. I had two loose bell housing bolts a loose starter motor. Clutch bolts loose. Leaking cam oil seals and seized crank pulley. Broken rocker cover bolts 3 foobard manifold bolts etc etc

Done
Clutch
Cambelt
Waterpump
Rocker cover
Thermostat
Manifold gasket
Painted bits and bobs


Just need to bolt turbo in and pop it back in


O yeah I cut my arm open undoing the gearbox and now have two deep lacerations in my left arm

Right. So I have a puddle of oil on the head dizzy side. So I just went to work to take the cam cover off and re sealed the gasket. Drove home and the oils there again. It doesn't look like it's coming from the rocker cover. Now I'm thinking it's the cam bearing cap next to the dizzy. Anyone experienced this before?
