Engine's back in place today , just some electrics to connect and re-fit the exhaust manifold , silencer etc -- fill up with water/water wetter , oil in box then re-fit the flipfront and tidy up the tunnel after removing everything to check the box . Feel better now it's got this far , the rest is easy and there's plenty of time before my first outing in June at Goodwood .
It's been a more expensive excersize than last year's fiasco with the bellhousing parting company with the box , in spite of master cylinder and slave cylinder rebuild kits plus new ring gear , it still only cost me £250 to sort , although still bloody hard work .
This box along with other items needed , with engine out etc totted up to over £600
I competed for years without any reliability problems and now that I only do 3 to 5 events a year , it seems to be costing loads . I suppose the 8000 rpm plus doesn't help the box any , although it has been extensively modified OR maybe I'm using that 8000rpm more of the time than when I first had it available
I scratched all the gold paint off and scored the metal before putting it on.
