b12 Sump

[bandzior64]

Hi All

Having bought a replacement engine and giving it a quick once over ( was assured it was a ok ) I bolted it into the frame and connected every thing so as to be ready for its first fire up.

Having found Great advice and info within these Halls of wisdom I carried out a clutch conversion (thank you Lee) . I was finishing off connecting the oil cooler lines when I noticed the sump plug weeping oil.

Upon inspection I have found that the thread in the sump has been stripped, I now it can be fixed with a heli coil repair, but I have the original engine on the bench and can take the sump off that,  but I need to know if it is possible to remove the sump from the engine while still in the frame. 

 

Thanks for looking

Basically yes,  you are best putting a new sump gasket on
