Ok the other day after about a year of saving and waiting i re-built and put in a normal 202 black block with larger pistons and all that.... but when i put it in and started it for the first time there was a huge pool under my car of oil!!!! :b:

Is this the rear main seal or could it be something else as it has all new gaskets and seals
...............

This is something that is really frustrating as i dont have a car now what is the quickets way of fixing this???

you need to find where the leak is comming from, then we can help.

I have seen an apprentice before forget to fit the sump plug

If its dumping a load of oil out fast I would say rear main, timing cover seal/harmonic balencer seal. Or someone forgot to screw int he oil pressure switch.

as slundy said where is the oil coming from?

[9898989]

ok i'll find that out first.... and lol to those apprentice's mistakes

Oh......... im 99% sure it is coming from the back because the gearbox housing had lots of oil dripping off of it if that helps but when theres time i will take a closer look

Something is not tight or a seal has been put in wrong I would say. Who rebuilt it?

[vkberlina]

I would say rear main for sure. oculd be the back of the sump gasket if the rubber parts doesnt fit directly into the cork it will leak.

did you use a rope or rubber seal?

found the problem....... after i sent the block to get bored for my pistons, i didnt check all of the back of the block and a plug had been taken out which i thort was still in the block.... lol

simple mistake, but annoying thanx for the help tho
