I have a 2007 XK with almost 200k miles. The engine sounds great but had a really bad leak. I am in the process of changing my front crankshaft seal. I have radiator removed so I have complete access to the front of the engine. So I want to know what else I should do while it is open.

I have already changed valve cover gaskets and plan on changing oil pan gasket because I can see that someone was already poorly done it. I also am replacing driver side motor mount and flushing all fluids.

 

Don’t know if or when you’ve done the following, but if not recently:
- Plastic thermostat housing and thermostat.
- Water pump.
- Coolant hoses

 

I would also add idler pulley whilst access is available

 

Get the one piece water pump.

Good luck

 

Thanks I have these things on order now.

 

I think you should win friends and influence people by posting a how-to on that front crankshaft seal! JMHO.
