swapping 5L over

[clubby_you]

Im swapping my clubby motor over at the moment due to what appears to be a crank thrust bearing failure are there any seals i should be changing while i have the motor on the stand im not doing the rear main cause
(A) It's not leaking
and
(B) it is an ass of a job
The motor that is going in has 140k on it

Cheers Doug

would be silly not to do it and find it developes leak LOL

its only "an ass of a job" because you have to take the motor out to do it, you already have the motor out so you may aswell get it done now rather than later.

i would probably be changing the welch plugs
they are only cheap and so much easier to do on a stand

any 2nd hand motor i buy or if i ever have to pull my engine out i change them
if you think the sump gasket might be a bit dodgy i would change that as well

Yere that is why im asking i would usually do all the seal and so on while the engine is out but this engine is mint has not been washed down at all and not a drop of oil any where all the coolant passages are clean as and the rocker gear is silver instead of burnt oil orange .
Has been really well looked after .
And dont i have to drop the crank a bit to do the rear main

But yere i think ill do the welch plugs im jus worried if i disturb the rope rear main it might start it leaking
