Awesome work! Get it down to the camp out and have a beer. You deserve it after dealing with that.

Interesting...... I wonder if they have it titled in the US? (And is that oil splashed back onto the muffler?)

It's a clean Bus. Even if it is a leaker you could rebuild that motor for less than a set of Type IV heads.

that snapring came out with the shaft, I believe that started the problem. the stud looks to be on the other shaft still.i am going to remove the t/o bearind and seal and try to get it back together without a teardown. You can't because the reverse gear is now in the diff housing. The reverse gear ...
