Wait for it to go off a little then bolt it all back together :y :y
I used some Loctite stuff for both my gearbox and engine sump with no problems :y

Don't forget there are two halves to the sump, upper and lower, and engine needs lifting about three inches to remove the upper half...

Post by: chrisgixer on 05 December 2014, 21:24:10: Upper half often leaks though so if your feeling energetic, do both. Although... you'll need an engine crane to lift the engine to give clearance to do the upper half.

I did wonder how you would get it ont stand but guess a hoist is the logical way :-\ Dont think they are very expensive to buy anyway

It says it's god for 500kg, so I assume it would be absolutely fine for an omega engine :-\

Post by: Nick W on 07 December 2014, 13:54:53: If you haven't bought the stand yet, get one with four legs. Although the lighter rated ones carry the weight, I find them a little wobbly.
Two people should be able to lift an V6 onto a stand, especially if you bolt the plate to the engine first.
