I'm thinking of adding anti slip aaitive to the gearbox oil it helps to prevent leaks but does not stop them
Any thoughts

Project got delayed. The replacement engine turned out to be from a 2013 Jag.
Alot of stuff had to be swapped over as the jag sump is different due to being rear wheel drive.
Hope to have it finished soon

Old engine timining chains were perfect the pistons on one side were damaged, we thinks it may have been lack of cooling as the so called mechs had used silicon everywher instead of gaskets, looks like the silicon block a water channel and caused a hot spot. Never seen such shody workmanship. The bumber was held on with tie wraps as the radiator shroud had been broken into 3 bits and held together with tie wraps.
