G'day 2M,

As always you seem to pull us out of the shit when needed.

You like many others are a valuable asset to this site.

G'day Again,

Man that alternator rotor was almost siezed onto the crankshaft. A bit of rust on the shaft obviously some water ingress.

Seal was OK there was a slight leak between the crankcase halves where I had not applied enough goop when I put them back together.

Pushed some goop into the joint and some more on the outside for good luck, no more leak.

Yahoo.

Thanks again, that video was great.
