P-gasket replacement?
davidlandy:
it is - you dont have to touch the timing case
the proper gasket is an allly one and its a use once as it has a little collapseable rib on it, buy a couple of them - someone i know put two of them on for good measure!

Someone I know used a makeshift bike spanner as a viscous fan removal tool :wink: Ollie !!!

Word of warning when you come to remove the bolts holding the accessory bracket to the block . . . .
The long through bolt in the lower left hand corner can be a pain to get out. Quite often they sieze due to water seepage and subsequent corrosion. Access to the nut at the back of the bracket on the long bolt is also difficult, might need to get creative with sockets and extensions. Give all the bolts a good coat of copperslip before re-assembling.
Did one a while ago, parts were in reasonable condition, bolts were stiff but not totally siezed, needed a good rubbing up on the wire wheel to clean them up before re-assembly though. Job took just over two hours :wink:

so is that:
a) you don't touch the timing case therefore the fan can stay on or
b) you don't touch the timing case but you can't get the other part off with the fan still in place :D
