so ive spent the day on it and its all come apart surprisingly well. 2.5 inch lift means i can get the sump off while the car is sitting on the ground.
i had to remove either the starter motor or extractors, i chose the starter.
what halfwit decided that one bolt would be 15mm and the other 16mm
or was that 14 anyway grrrr
yes ive now got oil drips all over the place, cam looks good piston skirts and bore looks good.
rear seal looks like is not even contacting the crank journal.
for 450000km the rear journal looks acceptable
now its just clean up everything
though the timing chain cavity looks fairly dry, there was oil there but i wouldn't say it was bulk oil, maybe that's normal
sup was clean except for small chunky bits of carbon around the drain hole
all in all im pretty happy with my day, tomorrow its clean up everything inc. tools and get ready for reassembly.
how where's that bolt go hahahah
