<VV> engine removal

[PETER INMAN]

Got it out real easy with a helper, thanks. I just wasnt real sure from memory how much clearance it takes. Clutch was getting wet from oil and had no option but to take it all apart. Could easily see where the bellhousing gasket was leaking and also the crank seal was tough and moved about freely on crank. New gasket and seal should correct oil leaks. The bellhousing bolts were`nt torqued  tight at all, if any. The crank seal was the type with metel outer dia. with just a small blue sealer around flange. Dont know if this is the stock one but the replacement looks like it will seal much better. Have one question though. Should the 9 bellhousing bolts have a little sealer on them to stop oil? Also the flywheel bolts? I like it when you can at least see where the problem was. Makes you feel more sure of your labors. Sure wish it would go in as easy as it came out.
