Are there any members local to Oxford, or maybe further afield who want a cambelt change?
Daz will be coming down at some point to do 1, possibly 2 for me, so it'd be ideal timing (like the pun?  )for any others who may need them doing.
Dates are dependant on when Daz is free, and if anyone else wants work done...nothing set in stone yet!

I'll come along if I may, no cambelts required on mine.

[TheBoy]

Depending on dates, I'd possibly pop along. More for a social thing, though I have got a pesky oil leak that he has unfinished business with

[chrisgixer]

Just done mine at Newent. Would have beat the Master doing TB's too, if he hadn't pinched the good locking kit.

Sure someone can find an oil pump to bring along

Do you still have an oil leak on your mv6 Jammy?

Aye.

Thought to be either dipstick tube (but neither Gixer, Taxi Al, tunnie or I can get it out) or oil pump

That the dipstick won't just pull out, does suggest that it doesn't leak, which only leaves that pesky oil pump

[TheBoy]

As the compressor has to come out - its let go internally - is the dipstick visible?

I've got space for 6 vehicles to be worked on, 8 at a push, and other parking for guests...so we could make a good day of it!

Should be clearer with the compressor out of the way

[Darth Loo-knee]

I have changed 3 oil pumps on Omega's.  None of which leaked. Find it strange if yours is ...I coukd be wrong though

Is it an arsehole job?

I still have a nagging doubt its the dipstick, esp as after we tugged and tugged on it all day at the Wycombe meet, the leak appeared to improve. But as we couldn't shift it, there must be a half decent seal in there.

Beyond that, out of ideas. If you recall, we sealed the upper and lower sumps, cam cover gaskets have been changed, we changed the crank seal up at the farm. Master checked the cam seals at Newent, all OK.

[05omegav6]

So the only seal left is between the crankcase and the oil pump

Besides its only 10 bolts

One of them being that rather tight crank one

Does compressor need to come off for oil pump?
