Hi

Moving my m52 engine and the steel water pipe caught on something and now it's able to twist easily

is this going to leak and if so how can I fix it?

Its only sealed to the block with 2 O rings, so yes it will twist easily, nothing to worry about though

If your going to replace the O rings the part number is 11 531 703 848 x 2 @ £1.75 each and it's worth checking the pipe isn't rusty underneath

Do I just pull the pipe out to remove it?
