my main worry at the moment is the slight oil leak i still have
on this engine . after a short run i park up there is a little pool under the
drivers side wishbone
i am hoping its not the head again .

Looks great mate!!!!

How mcuh have you driven it? I had an oil leak like that but it sorted itself out, I think its where I had to fit the tappets and some residual oil forced its way out.

Clean it up and drive it about a bit more and keep eye on it.

thanks Wobbs :D

only driven it to mot and back around 8 miles ,tried to be low
on revs as well .
the problem is i dont know where the oil is exactly coming from .
opened the cam belt cover and had a quick look and it does not seem to
be coming from there but with spanking new clear oil its really hard to see where the hell its coming from

[Wobba]

Well, keep an eye on it and oil levels and maybe it will become clearer as time moves on. I would have looked there first as well!

Maybe just residue from the leak before it was fixed?

Mat.

no its not mate , there is a leak somewhere

[Wobba]

Mine was just residue :(

Hope yours is not another 'back to Craig' jobbie :(

Like the "worry beads" on the gearstick matey :D

[dkrevs]

Have you located oil leak then?

[schakal]

not sure , i think it might have stopped but i now have a water leak
from driver side . might be one of the water pump bolts .

still messing with the wide track adventure before i can happily drive the fokker. managed to get longer shafts ,modified front shocks to a wider spec with brand new koni inserts in them . i will see how much thread is going into the track rod after a proper laser tracking and see if i will have to
use longer track rods as well .

all good fun ,just cant wait to drive it :P
