At the same track day that caused robinsonx19's gearbox issues I managed to release a fair amount of oil out of my crank seal. I reckon I can probably replace it with the engine in place, but I cannot remember if the crank pulley nut (38mm) is a left or right handed thread.....?

Plus I do not have a 38mm socket :(

Here is a pic - 5 of the 7 X's that turned up that day....

I wish someone had gotten a photo of that spin at the top of the main straight :)

I'm pretty sure the crank pulley is standard right hand thread because it should be staked but I must admit I can't find anything written down to confirm this.

Be looking at gear links, etc on the car over the weekend so may be in touch re the lollipop.
