...for spending the last 7 hours changing my cam cover gaskets, while I cleaned breathers, changed spark plugs, but mainly watched and learned...

Time will tell if this cures the oil leak - oddly there was no real trace of oil under the covers or in the plug holes.  The old plugs (which were new in November at the MOT before I bought it) were royally fubared though, probably as a result of it running rich due to broken knock sensor?

Anyway, I will keep an eye on the oil cooler pipe above the filter which is the next most-likely source.  I believe Chris now wants a manual 3-litre after having a go in mine!

Well done ClarCE

The forum strikes again

No problem, it was good to do them, learnt a few more quick ways of doing things - and how to do it on a PITA aircon pipe version (without the dippy bit!)

And yes, WTB: 3.0 Elite Manual  

Although I've picked up my project car today (thanks to meegaveesix) very pleased   Can't get another one until I've shifted one of the now 3 cars outside my house (SWMBO orders   )

Cheers,

Chris.

Nice one Chris,

The more you do these things.. the more you learn about how to get around things and how to best do them.... it will get quicker and quicker every time you do it.....

Cheers James, it was a 7 hour haul, but we took a few ciggie breaks, despite Rich's stinking cold!  And of course the obligatory McDonald's - still far better than the 10 hours I'd previously racked up, and guess what I WASN'T working through the night this time!
