Hi can anyone let me know if I HAVE to take the engine out of my viva to change the sump gasket or can it be done in place many thanks

If I remember correctly, it is very difficult to do in place because there is very little room between the sump and the cross member. There isn’t enough room to remove the sump completely. It is easier to remove the engine, but also possible to remove the engine mounts, lift the engine and, with a fair amount of cursing, get the old one out to fit the new one. I’ve tried it once on my HC.

Thanks I think I’ll take the engine out I can detail it and the engine bay while I’m at it
