New crank bearing and alternator belt fitted yesterday, big clean-up today and I'm just off to give it a test ride, not going too far, I just want to get it up to temp and then whip the cover off and check all is well. The old seal had completely disintegrated, only the metal ring remained in tact so it just fell out 8)

Cheers
