Major Oil Leak (following on from my no oil pressure post)

Hi, I've just been out to check oil was srpaying out the oil filler hole when running when suddenly oil started pouring from around the crank pulley area...

Started stripping the area down but couldnt budge the pulley so gave up for the time being lol.

Say I had over tightened the crank pulley bolt when i did the chain, what kinda damage could I have caused? I didnt check the required torque figure when i did it as i assumed that it needed to be silly tight like the xe's etc. but its a fair bit more than the 90 odd nm's and angle dunno..

Any ideas?

Thanks.

u prob need a breaker bar as they are near enough welded on

more likely the seal has gone and it is quite common

as long as she aint knocking then u should be oki

vocky

I doubt you over tightened the crank pulley bolt, they are extremely tight from the factory !

as above check the oil seal and the oil pump for any damage
