plastic cam cover.

[The Batman]

No that's not going back on, if it is swarf in the oil pump then it could have made it's way into the cam cover.

[chris_uk]

ah, fair enough.. you could just clean it out with a bit of petrol if you can be arsed.

[The Batman]

Thought about it but it just doesn't outweigh the potential issues that could reoccur Jimmys old engine will need to be fully stripped and rebuilt with new parts apart from rods and valve springs and made into a 300bhp one!

The amazing thing is the pace at which Joe managed to sort your car... Makes you realise just how much he must have fannies about when doing his!

[rob999]

Much respect to all of you. It really is a great family on here. Jimmy, I'm sure you've had your fair share of crap luck so I'm predicting wins for the rest of the season. I'm a total mechanical monkey but if there's anything I can do let me know...start a fire in the competitions garages maybe

[Mike (Cliffie)]

JJJ, get a genuine one from Vauxhall (£50) or from Autovaux, don't fanny about with a stretchy or sticky one as they have a habit of not lasting. Failing that, get a 2nd hand short drive shaft for a direct swap.

[The Batman]

Cliffie I'm after some 90degree silicon bends 19mm I have ordered some hopefully turn up tomorrow! I'm also going to insulate his gearbox cables and fit powerflex mounts.

Then it's weight stripping time

[techieboy]

Bugger, I've got 3 19mm 90° silicone bends here. Bought them when I re-plumbed the header tank but never needed them. Which CV boot has gone? I've got an OE replacment kit for the outboard boot here.
