Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Looking good mate it will all come together in the end! oil leaks on the sumps on these are a real pain in the ass!! The one I am running now has been good up to now but I have had some dogs over the years. It does help to leave them to set before filling them with oil, the way I do it is to put the silicone on then put the sump up loose but making contact all the way round then tighten it up the next day doing it this way it forms like a proper seal and tightens up real good once the bolts are torqued up properly doing it this way I have never had one leak! Nice to see some one keeping there car nearly as long as me it takes some bloody doing!!All the best with the house too mate we have had ours 6 years this October and its the best thing we did!!

Nanglebadger Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 lol good thinking dude!!!yeah, looking forward to giving her a new home where we can sort her out slowly and properly.PAS pump painted in hammered black, as is the mount for the air filter.engine casings have also been cleaned with fairy liquid to remove the oil from the leak.all i'm waiting on right at this moment other than my gift to myself is my re-machined CJ Performance adjustable cam pulley. once thats here we can button that whole side of the engine up (provided we stop the oil leak).thanks to alan and joel we are definitely gettin somewhere now!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Power steering belt, alternator belt and cambelt-side crank shaft oil seal ordered from Iddy.If it turns out it was the oil pump being loose that caused it, at least i'll have a spare seal!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 well...we hope so mate!recirc bung is very confusing, it has a hole through it. Joel has picked up a blacking plate so we'll try both and see how we get on.Just waiting for James (CJ) to get back from holiday and send me the adjustable pulley and we're good to get cracking.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 UpdateThat's right bitches, I am that guy, that guy so sad he buys a gauge that tells him the opposite of his boost gauge simply because its part of the set!!!!! i am that soldier!!!! now only leaves the oil pressure gauge to find! i dunno what that spongey bollox was stuck to it, took me 20 minutes and a sore thumb but its now removed! mount arrived from ebay today too, so she's ready to be fitted! have to say a massive thank-you to Socks for sorting this out for me. i took a notion to look on BidJDM after seeing Steve's recommendation, wasn't expecting to see anything, but within 24 hours Matt had it won for me. kept me updated with screen shots and tracking numbers, and all told it only took 3 weeks or so from Japan to me. can't say better than that!!! so thanks dude!Phil.
