Uncool people....

50 ft/lbs is what caused the leak....

He's asking how to remove the front cover NOT the pump.

Newer design which builds on the strengths of the 7M and addresses some of it's shortcomings.

Not worth opening an old wound when he's not here to entertain us.

Crisp: You're a strange individual :)

^^^ ;) Think of the cooling system in a 7M as the big bully in the showers at school with a rolled up wet towel that's going to snap you in the nads if you're not paying attention...

Fuel filter= Not a chance one handed the rest maybe but it'll be a struggle.

Chunks: It's more a case fo shaft speed/time without lube that kills them. I doubt it would happen in a drag situation as you're only at a high shaft speed for minimal time before hitting the brakes and having the Oil rush forward into the Pinion bearings.

Dats: That front cover is badly erroded and it's the rear of the water pump so you'll be getting a lot of cavitation from that....

Hope they're King Trimetals and NOT their Bimetal bearings..... Colin: the "point" is while there isn't physical contact there is still enormous pressure from the Oil wedge and if any of the layers isn't up to the task (King Bimetal) the surface will "smear" and deform causing failure. It...

Maybe the Lurkers think it's better to "be thought a fool rather than post and remove all doubt" ;)

So the key doesn't work?.......... :nono: Way to add complexity to a simple operation Crisp ;)

Isolated occurance or is this a known issue with i-forged wheels?

If it's a cast iron flywheel I wouldn't do it.
