I’m working on this same car for the past 2 years. Repaired the cylinder head with a valve job and valve lash. Now it’s time for me to inspect the engine block and pistons.
Can the front oil seal be replaced without removing the oil pump? I have an oil leak that I suspect is from the seal and want to replace it and would like to do it with the engine still in car. Had the same problem with my Mazda Rustler 1.3
