Poriordan 97 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Over the weekend I managed to get a few bits done Replaced my vac lines after melting them on the test run :-)After that I found my oil leak source ( me not taping the threads on the mocal sandwich plate ) and got it fixed after stripping the front back off Then fitted my oil breather out the way so I don't get any smell hopefully ;-)Next this down pipe and exhaust Edited February 9, 2014 by Poriordan Ickyketseddie and cactusjackslade 2 Link to post Share on other sites
