Threaded spark plug, Flywheel oil seal, Oil gallery plug seal, clean pressure plate & flywheel, new oil fiter etc. being the main elements.
New parts....Kush Lock uprated clutch plate.
Noticed a hairline fracture on the older 1&2 heads just between inlet and exhaust valves......I believe this damage acured when i f**ked the other head up!! Not a problem at the present!! helicoiled the spark plug thread works a treat.
Engine back in!! all connections done.
Finally NO OIL!!!!!
YET!...... ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never known an aircooled engine not sweat at least a drop of oil... Even if it's from the breather ;)
I agree, if it does not leak oil its not an aircooled???? maybe Ben yours is the first!!!!!!!!dry engine camper.
ReplyDeleteStill no leaking oil from the bell housing, the whole engine is still drying out. I will be happy with a sweaty engine....just no more leaks!"!!!!please.....
ReplyDeleteAlso the clutch is now dry...this is also very important!!!
ReplyDeleteSo can you pull some wheel spins now without that slippy plate?!?! ;)
ReplyDeleteNot quite!!! I have noticed a significant SHIFT in performance. pULLING VERY STRONG AND CREATING FAR MORE TURBO LIKE WHINE. Still no oil from the bell housing...gear box is now looking very dry ....rest of the engine should now start to dry off.
ReplyDeleteI checked the timing today at around 10 deg BTDC so i retarded it by a couple of degrees to 8 (7.5 vw factory) as to ensure im not cooking my heads??? Any thoughts on this?
