Hi There,
Doing a few jobs on Red Dog, couple of minor things, gearbox transfer case, rear main seal etc....... Anyway decided to take the sump of and have a bit of a look and replace the gasket, oil seeping around the gasket.
Drained oil off got sump off and I found a bit of plastic in the sump, not worn just broken off. I have a feeling I know where "the bit" has come from just want some other opinions. The biro is there to give you a perspective of size. 482K on the clock so I am expecting some worn bits........... Pictures are below, what a goose!!!
And yes the oil pump bolt and chain are fine.
No doubt I'll be ripping the front cover off the engine at some point, however this will have to wait a while until the funds pool recovers. Found the rear hub leaking this afternoon, from the hub not the o-ring. Anyone in Perth got a spare good one?
Cheers Marty.
