I've got a 2.1 that hasn't run for 4 years due to various reasons.

I've now started it again, and unfortunately it's developed a massive leak from the rear crank seal.

As the engine has to come out anyway, I figure I might do a refresh on it, however what is normally involved in this? Is it usually new seals, rings and bearings, or is it more involved?

The engine is 6 years old, and has done about 20k miles, but as said it's not run for 4 years...

 

might be worth checking the oil PRV hasn't stuck giving a pressure overload causing it to blow the seal out or it could simply be the seal has dried out with sitting around??

in general it shouldn't require a full refresh but like all things exact spec & use/abuse will dictate work required

 

Thanks alyn,

I think I might go with just the seal (and check the prv) for the time being, as the engine has had an easy life so far.

Do you sell the seals?

 

yes we have stock of pretty much all engine parts OE or uprated / forged / etc.
