Allis 170 gas

Posted by Mike(Wi) on October 05, 2004 at 17:28:35 from (148.78.245.13):

OK, since I got ignored on the Allis board, I thought I would ask my question here.

A friend of mine has an allis 170 with a four cylinder gas engine. Motor is leaking oil from the front of the oil pan. I can see that there was a string of silicone like material there. I assume that someone had pematexed that area and it did not hold.

It would seem to me like I should remove the oil pan and put new gaskets all around. I can get to all the bolts if I remove the starter.

My question is the following; If I remove the oil pan and put new gaskets around it, is there a chance that the oil pump would lose it's prime and I would need to remove the distributor and restablish oil pressure with a drill and the required tool? Or is it ok to put the oil pan back with new gaskets and the aproximate torque. Put in new oil and filter and start the motor.

Can anybody tell me what to expect or what would be proper?

Thanks,

Mike
