Today (Saturday) not quite as successful as Friday but I still got a few bits done.
At Silverstone and again at Oulton I had a quite noticeable issue.
I was seeping a little oil, not enough to leave spots but as it was directly onto my manifold, enough to smoke like |I was on fire whenever I pulled up.
Never gonna please the scrutineers that..
It took some finding as it really was a tiny leak, but i tracked it down to the driveshaft oil seal. (set in too far looking at the shiny driveshaft showing)
So i popped the OS driveshaft and replaced the offending seal. (fitting it to the correct depth)
All nice and easy as all the bolts have been off, cleaned and torqued recently.
Next up was the cams.
I`d forgotten just how bloody fiddly it is, with the engine in..
With the cams exposed, I set about finding tdc, not hard but the timing bar refused to fit in.
Just as I ran into this little headache, the heavens opened. Blowing straight over my shoulder into my open engine.
So i had to bail on that job `till tomorrow. If it`s dry...
So not as good as yesterday but still a good step of the way.
For tomorrow, if it`s dry, cams.
If it`s wet, seats/interior and bumper
