Hi guys,
my sump has a light leak/weep somewhere and I want to get it off, painted and fresh sealed.
And I have a slightly low oil pressure when hot, still alright wsm-wise but borderline.... the previous owner rebored and fitted new pistons - but left the old bearings as they were "still good". I wasn't impressed back then....
Now its the perfect time to check them and I wonder if it's possible to get the seventh bearing cap off or is the rear crank oil seal holder bolted into it ? I've searched here for a while but can't find anything for the 12ht.
Also - to get genuine bearings in their possibly different std sizes in this country is a major problem as they have to come from Japan, according to the main dealer here. ACL ones are direct available but only do one std size. Thoughts ?
Anybody done it ?
