cool, Thanks.
I might ask the Wurth rep when he comes in to work next time. They are sure to sell some sort of good stuff for it.

well it worked a treat. got it all apart and cleaned up. Now i'm putting it back together and i am wondering if i should be putting grease on the throwout plunger thing. should i ? if so what sort?

That stuff looks awsome

I didn't buy it, the plant mechanic stole it from another plant mechanic!

So how did the Wurth stuff go?

I use Castrol HMP wheel bearing grease, it stands the engine heat and doesn't run out.

Yea it seemed to work well. I don't know that it is actually designed for that purpose, but they told me that it'll do the trick, and it did.
This is the stuff anyways..... http://www.wurth.com.au/catalogueview.a ... 4_0526.pdf



Cool, thanks for that. Actually looking at the pdf for this wurth stuff, i wonder if it'd do the trick ???? or would the grease need to be a bit thicker???

I'd try it and see, most Wurth stuff is good (but pricey).

The old one, the bores are worn??
A 1098 is a 1098, until you modify it.

Sorry it wasn't meant to be a trick question...
I was just wondering why the bit at the back is different. I circled the bit i mean.

I dont know why they are different, but that is a bolt on part that you can take off and swap whatever.

I would say one is a mini K motor 10Y and the other a clubman block 1001(something like that)

So an age gap that is my guess.
