If you leave those jacks with alot of weight on them for a long period of time they gradually split the seals and a nice puddle of oils forms on the ground around

I learnt this the hard way!

Haha cheers Matt. I'm glad we had your blessings

hahahahah. We checked the timing lots and the clutch etc was aligned with the right tools etc. Basically, the only thing that we could get wrong now is bolts
