Upper sump housing
« on: August 30, 2020, 22:55:50 »
Where can I find the seal for the upper sump housing? looks like there has been a leak on the right side.

Pretty sure the upper sump to block seal is a sealant like Yamabond or Toyota FIPG which are two of my favorites.  Unfortunately, to reseal that seam you need to remove the engine.  Unless you drop the subframe their is no way you can get the upper sump off in the frame.  Might as well pull the crankshaft and replace the rear seal as well.

Thanks for the recommendation, the engine is already sitting on a stand.
