Very long time since any updates here too.

 

Beeing a father takes a lot of time, so cars are not a high priority.

 

However now after both the 205s seem to be free from oil leaks from both engine and gearbox, I decided to try to sort out the T16 too. It most likely has a hockey stick seal leaking too.. in addition to some strange leak from the gearbox, which I suspect might be due to the lack of any main gasket, I just used sealant instead like on the BE gearbox, but maybe the ME5 is more prone to leaks? Anyway I still just got to try to seal it with sealant, but maybe a different type this time.

 

It is incredible how much work it is to take the T16 to pieces compared to the 205s

Mounted the cap with the hockey seals some days ago. Cut them to length yesterday evening, but I really can't find any indications that they actually schrink overnight.

 

Also put the main seal back in again, I think this might have been bottomed out last time it was mounted, so it may well that was the cause of the oil leak for all I know.

Tried to keep quite far out now so it won't touch the wearmark on the crank.
