big ups to Ian and the Maitland Imports shop(in orlando)...should have her back real soon...and now the pics Oh noes...the front end is missing lol hmmm....somethings missing.... oh yea!THAT! im suprised the engine bay looks as clean as it does This clutch lasted 134,579 miles The oil pan removed...looks good still! Stock oil sump Now with the RMW Oil Sump Trap Here is a rundown on what im having done: Replaced Clutch Supercharger Rear Main Seal Trans Seals Clutch bushings Oil pan gasket Oil Sump Repair RMW Header Install TSW Engine Mount PowerFlex Bushings (Sway Bar/Steering rack/Gearbox/Large and Small Engine Bushings) Install Group4Autosports Splitter Replace Fuel Filter Also should have a new rad core support which fixes the last thing after my run in with an Gator
no the RMW header...mine was one of the ones with the original p420 bad catalytic converter so i finally got a chance to get it sent off to get it fixed
Looks good. I'm not an expert, but the pic of the oil pan baffle looks like there may be a little oil leakage from the crank position sensor on the front right side of the block. You might want to check that o-ring. Also, don't worry about not reading well, it happens to everyone: :devil:
Starting to look like a car...everything put back on and the shop took it for a spin...just waiting on the fuel filter and the front splitter to be put on and then it should be ready to roll MFE put back on as well as the core NEW M45 S/C
actually it was the oil pan gasket that was shot...the oil would come out and the wind moving through as i was driving was spraying the oil everywhere...oh and for those with high mile R50s/R52s/R53s...if you have a chance to get your water pump looked at do it...apparently mine was leaking internally around the shaft...didnt have an outward appearance that it was bad until they took it off while replacing the SC
The units are separate because the units are separate, you can replace one without the other. It's the drive gears for the water-pump power take off that go south on the SC. Leakage at the waterpump shaft seal is a completely different issue. Matt
the SC was starting to make the infamous bearing death rattle...when it was cracked open it was low on fluid so it was a matter of time really....i won the new SC in an auction for like 250 bucks so it was a steal really...it came out of a i think late 05 with only 5k miles on it...as for the waterpump that was a matter of time before something failed and flooded the SC with coolant but in the end im glad they caught it when they did
