Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
can u not just get another lever from a scrap yard, should not cost more than £8, and only 10-15min to take off. and they all same.Its finding a scrappy local to me with an omega in stock. if any one with a spare lever assembly willing to post, Im willing to pay.
Too slow.. already sentmany thanks
Oh OK, was gonna email one to youThank you, have sent PM to you.
Have you ordered one Bob?I have one but lent it to someone, being returned tomorrow, just hadn't got it for reference at the moment.
the reason I was asking is no Haynes until tomorrow.QuoteI..... I've got from somewhere its 25Nm +90°+90°+90°+15° is this correct. .........
That's what Mr Haynes says too.
Using Castrol oil per chance?No not castrol - Total if I remember right
Hi buddy. Its comin from somewhere so I would be going back through the induction system, the air cleaner box may have some water in it.Air filter box and all intake pipes were dry when I took them off. The problem is the engine is stripped to take the heads off, a forum member was going to help me out by getting me a cam locking kit but I get the feeling they have backed off, so reluctant to go any further on the strip down.
If my memory serves me you said before your commute was 6 miles and this is not enough for it to dry out, I stand by what I said before give it a run down the A46 to the Longbridge Island and back it will be warm then and that should take care of the mayo.
from reading your other post, iirc, it was suggested to test the coolant system. But both tests would be of use i imagine. Looking at your pictures it does look like liquid in the bore. Could be fuel tho? The steam out the exhaust could well be water getting in, as mine did, through the rusted section behind the back box/joint to connector pipes area and running down into the exhaust and just sitting there, i an fairly certain the pipes are seperate up to the back box where they join in the silencer. The leak could be any number of the omega usualls. But, put them all together and does makeHere’s where I’m at.
HG more likely. Have you changed the oil recently, while you have been having these issues? If so and the oil is fine, ie good texture and thickness, still thick and good colour, ranging from gold yellow to dark brown, then the hg is fine imho. But if its milky, frothy, thin, grey, chocolatey, with white mayo deposits then you have water in the oil seeping/blowing past the piston rings and into the sump. I would drop the oil out and see whats its like.
I have read on here of bottle caps blowing off and bottles destroyed by hg failure at 60mph. So still some more tests to do before you dive in as you say.
Maybe have a look at the dipstick as a clue and drop the oil when you get it home. Do that before you spend money on test equipment maybe? Cheaper and if there is no water you can fill up with fresh oil and all the better. Hth
If you want to pressure test the coolant then get a spare filler cap (scrappers) scrounge a tyre valve from the local tyre fitters and drill a hole in the cap to accept the valve. seal with silicone or araldite.If I've understood right the one I'm after goes into the plug socket and can pressure that pot
You can then pump-up with a foot pump to about 12psi and go looking for water leaks.
