Re: BB4 Stage 1 Cams are in

Yes leaks at rocker cover, spark plug seals and cam end cap - all the usual suspects :lol:
Plus with timing on both cams being out it wasnt burning all the fuel which i guess could wash out some oil with it.

I will be keeping an eye on the oil level - its part of my weekly check anyway :geek:

Car seems to be running spot on and has done another hard afternoon in cross town traffic :twisted:

Im now wondering if it could have been some dodgy fuel...ive put fuel in 3 times in the last week(only ever up to 1/4r tank)?

Re: BB4 Big Cheesy smile

Post by vanzep » Fri Jun 19, 2015 4:39 pm

yep its running like a good un :)

picked up a few parts recently

big cheesey smile from the wings west rs front lip - will go nicely with the rest of the ww kit ive got stashed away.
looks like it came off a red lude originally judging by the milano red i can see where the lip has been chipped.
ive sanded it back and got the primer coat on today so a bit more fettling and it should be ready to paint :)

Image

Then i derusted the whiteline rear arb - it looked very rusty but turned out be surface rust only so clean up nicely. just need to decide on powdercoat or paint - probably will go with good old black gloss paint.

Image

so thats the good - the bad and ugly was the rust on driver side rear arch - fortunately caught this in time and had it cut out and rewelded.

after

next up is to remove the sideskirt on the other side :scaredtoss: :lol:

All in all its been a good week for the lude.
