Electrical arcing often sounds like clicking. Obviously that doesn't come from the front of the engine, but the origins of noises like that can be very...
The saga with my 1098 rebuild contines... I've got the crank in, and the pistons in and connected to the crank. I've now turned the engine right way up and...
G'day Greg That's really bad news - for you. When you strip an engine down for a rebuild, the one piece that you NEVER remove is the half-moon piece on the...

Thanks Mr Dent, Never touched a diff, and it looks messy. The diff doesn't whine so I have hoped/assumed it's OK. Is there a way to confirm the bearing are the...
Hi Kieran. Yes it was the clutch release bearing - the proper name for it. It was OK when I put the 'box together the first time so I don't know what happened....
Hi Kieran, If it is of any help, I understand there are two different types of thrust bearing for the clutch. I had purchased a new clutch kit with release...
Thanks Barry. I did replace the clutch thrust bearing with the non-carbon type, and it hasn't fallen apart either, so I can cross that off the suspect list. I...
