Benn's on going build

[Count Vaux Alot]

James (countvauxalot) was gonna do it. But the one i've bought have been re built and hybrided already.

Any idea on speck Benn?

[Benn]

I believe it was done at your place.. So what ever you would normally do... How would i tell of anything else?

[Benn]

I feel your pain on the oil leaks too dude

Double check the rocker gasket in the corners over the cams, I had similar build up of oil in the same place as you and I did the cam seals and bottom pulley seal twice before finding it was actually the rocker cover!

I'm in the process of doing the crank seal and end cap on the gearbox side to try and stop mine leaking, Also got a new seal for the oil cooler sandwich plate incase thats loosing some.

Keep up the good work

Will do dude, but the rc cover looks dry. But i'm replacing it anyway... Just in case.

Cheers

New cam seals (One Payne, was ment to be two but only one came, but Dan had a spare Gm one) So rocker cover off.. Strut brace off first as it's in the way...



Dan reminded me that the cam caps should have sealant under them as there is no gasket or anything on them... Something i didn't know last time i put it together.. So hopping that's another reason for the leak..
So this time i've smeared a film of RTV over each one before re fitting after the new cam seals where fitted..





New Payne Rocker cover gasket too.



Noticed this, cheap ones seem to be very hard. But a GM is soft as is this Payne one.. But maybe that makes a different.. As all cheap ones i've had have leaked..



All fitted, but while i was there i need to remove the fuel rail and swap with a spare that has the fpr blank on it, so did that so i can fit this..



Thinking i can fit it where the hot start valve bolts to the top hat... So cut and redrilled the bracket..





Seems to fit. But left it there, fuel line trimming next..

On to shiney!

New found a guy who can do this to save me time and back pain from standing at the bench polisher... Big thanks to Old man Jimbo. Fantastic polishing service.
One chromed state too All bolts are polished stainless.

[Benn]

New polished RC bolts too. Sadly the RC it's self needs re chroming





Stainless polished jubliee clips... Just For Dave Dempsey...






New turbo ready to fit, so i spent £90 on Roose silicone hoses... The rear turbo water feed wouldn't fit tho.. Oh now i see why...



More to moz.
