That’s not gone well.

The good news is that you might be able to pick the engine up by yourself.

It’s way heavier than you’d think from looking at it. That’s what happens when you make everything out of cast iron.

That would make it heavy yeah.

Is it weird that I want to pat your car like a puppy?

Maintenance or problems....?

No.

It is a dog.

Crank seal or pan gasket started leaking like crazy. Which then rotted the lower suspension bushings.

Are poly ones available, or a universal kit you could modify o fit your old girl? Would they be more resilient?

I just ordered regular replacements. I think being 40 years old helped them rot particularly fast when exposed to oil.

Ah, nice! :) Didn’t realize they were the originals...40years? Definitely commendable - Swedish quality! :D
