Soldato
Evening all,
I have finally started the stem seal job on my MX5. At the same time I will replace all the seals at the front of the engine and I will also replace the cam belt and water pump.
I like to take my time and do it only when I am in a good mood. Today I got the car up on ramps and started stripped the required bits. I am very slow and follow Youtube guides. I bet it will take me several weeks overall, but it is my 2nd car.
I'm a competent (some argue otherwise!) mechanical design engineer, however hands-on jobs that I am new to I am very slow with, because I think it is important to learn.
I get my grump on a bit with people who are good with their hands-on skills telling me it should be done in an afternoon .
How speedy are my fellow OcUKers ad mechanic DIY-ing?
