MaxzmusSC Posted 9September, 2013 Report Share Posted 9September, 2013 Great info. Thanks. I'd call the leak "significant" in that there were drops under the car every few days. The pictures don't do it justice as to how wet it was around the breather area. There's also another leak from the oil bypass hose but that will also be changed out with the tensioners. Intake port gaskets were all good so I left them alone. Figured I'd do more damage trying to scrape them out. The engine had the heads done a few years back and the gaskets were in good order. Someone used silicone on them which while I think is dodgey it let the manifold peel away from the gasket easily enough. If I was to offer advice to anyone for this job it would be to undo the rear engine mounts and drop the motor down about 4 or 5 inches. would have made the whole job a million times easier.

Uncle Posted 10September, 2013 Report Share Posted 10September, 2013 Nice one Theo. Along the same lines today I got some shed shots. I was going though a photo album on the weekend and rediscovered some photos of my dad doing more or less the same thing at about the same age as I am now and thought how good it was to see them. With this in mind I got my wife to take some candid photos that I am going to print for my son to look at in 30 years. T-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 11September, 2013 Report Share Posted 11September, 2013 I became tired of the faded engine cover, so tried some Trim Detailer. Might take a few goes, but seems to have picked it up a little. Here is it half done..... And the final result. And, in line with T-man, I have been getting my little one to help also. But, finding extra storage has been a problem. Just now need to find a restraining method JustJames, Peter M, Orion03 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg944 Posted 11September, 2013 Report Share Posted 11September, 2013 Installing Polybronze bushes into rear beam, bearings test fitted, grease passages drilled and holes tapped for grease nipples. Need urethane adhesive to properly bed bearings in both the steel inner beam and the outer Aluminium castings. Waiting on the spring plates to return from platers. Have to decide whether or not to get beam blasted and the powder coated or just clean and touch up paint... Back out to work on rally car after Spicks and Specks. Finish front arms tomorrow.
