I've got a nice new shiny alloy 'Abarth' sump waiting to go on but before I fit it I'm going to clean the centrifugal oil filter which I suspect hasn't been cleaned for ages. Once everything's back it's get a fillup of nice new 20W50 classic oil.
Per other guides I know that I need to support the engine under the sump before removing the rear panel but is there anything special to do to the engine mount spring before removing that panel, e.g. compress it/lock it in the compressed position to make it easier to refit everything when it goes back on?
