[DML] Re: engine removeing

[Michel Poulin <mpoulin@xxxx>]

Thanks for the info. We'll have to get the Workshop Manual. All we have
now is the parts manual.
As far as the gaskets go, somone told us that the form-a-gasket had been
used, from your info I take it that that's a li. people will do that for
some dumb reason or another. For what it's worth though, this engine has
been pulled apart then. the red gasket glue is ozzeing out of several bolt
holes. The Oil leak is from the pan and front cover. We've found several
bolts that were loose, and a couple missing on both the cover and pan.
When ever we tighten them the oil will quit dripping for a few days, then
it starts again. The sending unit it tight. (and wouldn't cause oil drops
on the other side of the engine.)
Thanks!
