Cheers pal when I set out to build this van it was always my intention to do as much of the work myself as I possibly can it's not been easy but has definitely been worth the slog

Nice one Sam You are a braver man than me

If you're referring to the seal kit I would only use oem kits from now on. I've replaced most of what came in the kit with original parts as they have failed or were poor quality 😁👍

I would love to do this. But know I would leave the clamp in.

Good vid. Do you allways remove viscous fan and radiotor etc to get to it?. Also i need to change crank pulley at same time as hot start issue so suspect worn pulley. How you keep pulley positions when you remove it
