Has someone already taken out my spigot (picture included)
As above?
Cant see anything with any needle rollers in there. Only a solid little thingy at the very rear of the crank?
What do we think?

How hard can it be?

Has the engine been used in a RWD car before?

Nope! it hasnt, came from a mondeo!
Ideal, means one less job to worry about.
However, i have given myself another, to get a better look, I popped off the crank seal thing. Can i get the bastard back in there....
Can someone confirm that i need to lower the sump a little to get the Fu*ker back in to its rightful place?

There's some notes and photos on installing the crank seals on my website. The link is below, then go to the Westfield bottom end rebuild page.

Should fit without dropping the sump but don't re-use the seal. Fit a new one.

go to ford and buy a spigot (about £11) and it pushes in to hole in the end of the crank. Front wheel drive cars don't use them hence you have
to fit one to use it in a 7. As for the seal no idea but i would buy a new one not just shove the old one back in.

One end of the bearing is very slightly more rounded, that end goes in first facing the engine 
Just tap it in with a small hammer using a suitably sized socket as a drift, it's pretty obvious when it's all the way in.

Yes, and the clanging of the hammer changes tone to a more solid sound

Cheers Tony! Going to give it a bash in a moment!
Any advance on where to get the oil seal from anyone?

Hmm, of no use to you what so ever but when I dragged my zetec out of a rather banana shaped Focus and took the box off I was surprised/pleased to see
a spigot bearing already in there

My x-flow came from an automatic car - it didn't have a spigot bearing, but did have a steel cup press-fitted over the end of the crank.

Don't bash it too hard. I've seen it done that the outer casing folds over a bit and binds on the needles.

ps. thats not the spigot that missing, it's the spigot bearing. The spigot shaft is the shaft coming out of the gearbox with splines to engage
the clutch plate...just so we're all talking about the same thing.
