Hey boys
Ok after i did a major service on the gearbox. as in pulled it out and put it on the bench did the input
and output shaft seals, tighten bands, Changed filter, New fluid . also did the rear main on the donk,
(main reason why i did the gearbox as well)
Centre bearing etc etc u get me. after all put back in the car. i guess my problem is not connected. but i
have vacuum in my crankcase now(Never noticed it b4 and this is something u cant miss). only started
after i changed the rear main. (possibly sucking air in around my seal so i had no vacuum?)
I pulled out my PCV valve (Positive i know not vacuum) and all was working fine,, so when i shut the car off
if i pull my dipstick out i get a mad sucking sound till it equalises pressure... It is vacuum
Car running if i plug the dipstick hole with my finger i get the vacuum again and then let off i get a big
hiss again. is this of any concern i should have vacuum to some extent as this is how blowby is
extracted from the crankcase. but like i said very noticible.
