I am in Brisbane (west subs) and I need someone with a bit of knowledge and maybe the correct tools and muscle.
Need to replace the sump gasket (have new kit ready to go) on my 1981 VH Commodore wagon with 1.9 Starfire engine.(stop laughing!!LOL!!The car is still going strong!)
Unfortunately I don't have a suitable space/place at my home to do the repair (I believe the engine has to be removed..grrr!!.wish I still had my 6.)
Due to an injury I can't do the job myself.
send any ideas of what you would charge if you can help. (cash,beer etc)
email me at [email protected]
Thanks everyone.
M.C

you only have to support the engine with a small winch overhead and drop off the front suspension crossmember to get at the sump bolts if its just the gasket that is leaking.....front balancer seal and rear main seal can do it too.

I don't have anywhere (garage,flat driveway etc) to be able to do this and due to a neck injury can't do job myself.

The car has sat since and only been driven around the block once a week.............3 years have gone by...no progress.....car and injury wise.
