Obstruct.......it certainly does. There are a couple of bulges stamped in the lower part (the bit that is removable on the 6a). The rear oil seal housing sticks out backwards from the sump and catches on the bulges. If you don't know this then it seems a mystery as to what is stopping the sump coming down any further than the first little bit. My cure......grit teeth and heave sump off, then repaint scratched plate with indestructable-you-cant-scratch me paint before re-fitting sump.scimjim wrote:I didn't think that obstructed the sump? Many Ford engines have similar - the CVH has 3 or 4 designs, some single piece and others two piece but you have to remove the starter to drop it IIRC?
Or rather the bracket you've got at the top shoud be at the bottom or you won't be able to change plug 1, it's difficult enough as it is, bloomin impossible the way you've got it, and as Dennis said, you've no tensioner for the PS pump belt fitted, also your rocker covers on wrong side as well, PCV is usually on the driver side and goes into the carb spacer from memory where you've got it is where the servo hose goes, will the bonnet close with oil filler there?scimmy_man wrote:the alternator is upside down
Not on mine then, filler on passenger side, PCV on drivers side or has that been wrong for the entire time of my ownership thenAJL Electronics wrote:Rocker covers are correct for a Cologne.
