August 2007

I did finally get around to resuming the build towards the end of August and even wrote a page describing my efforts. Unfortunately my computer's hard drive just died last week and I can't get the data off it :-( My most recent back up is from about a month ago.

Anyway, I spent an afternoon sorting the engine oil leaks out. I replaced the clutch cover gasket, removed and replaced the dry sump pump to sump rigid oil pipes using some silicon sealant and used some silicon sealant to seal the bottom dry sump braided hose. That was leaking where it was pushed onto the sump spigot - the hoses I got from Rally Design have a spiral convluted inner hose and the oil was simply tracking up this no matter how tight the jubilee clips were. I refilled the tank and was pleased to see a clean, dry garage floor the next morning.
