  1. I still have the original oil cooler in place. My coolant sits between 90-95 exiting the engine and I think the oil sits around 85 degrees. I cant remember if that's before or after its been cooled.... Fairly sure I am running 10-30w.
  2. It is possible to replace the oil filter casting completely. You can buy/make parts for this. I used an adapter that screwed onto where the oil filter would go retaining the water cooling parts. Couple of examples. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234749471799?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=AJ-LbweVTqi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3n6k2g6WS4y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I used something like this (different thread size) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402154104603?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=63akh65fR-a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3n6k2g6WS4y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  3. thats the knock sensor. You probably wont be using it....
  4. Is that "cold"? Mine is connected straight to the 109 guage and works pretty well!
  5. My adapter didn't cost a grand! but you know with inflation etc....
  6. You would also then need to find somewhere to mount the clutch slave cylinder. I can send you my cad if its at all helpful. It was almost perfect.... 52.1mm though. I looked at the spacing from the face of the flywheel. 2 bolt holes didn't line up (internet borrowed dimensions.... Might have been for a different sump design.
  7. looking back through I may have used standard bolts?
  8. some photos..... and here is my dry bearing.... https://youtube.com/shorts/33Jcj7Ioo2Q
  9. Well its been a very long time since I posted in here.... I still have it, no massive changes, going through some updating renewing parts etc. The following is a list of work I have completed over the past maybe year or so.... 3D printed a snorkel in ABS in about 16 parts and melted it together using acetone. Reprinted my speaker mounts in ABS, the previous PLA had warped in the hot weather. Changed the clutch release bearing as its been squeaking. Unfortunately only discovered LOF do an extreme heavy duty bearing after replacement.... 😕 Changed the front axle casing after finding out the mounts were about 9mm too far apart, also wanted to increase the castor angle to get rid of some remaining prop vibration. Its now on the limit of what it can be but is good for vibration. Changed the timing belt/waterpump. Cant say how glad I am that I did this. One of the bearings was as dry as the sahara and I also found the timing belt was not correctly tensioned 😳 So its always been a bit loose in my ownership.... Fortunately now corrected with a homemade washer in a washer.... I am also making a new android head unit for the car based on an SBC but that is work in progress. I need to do the pictures another time.... All of them appear to be in different places hiding somewhere! Jad
  10. I don't appear to receive emails when I'm tagged 🤦I had someone turn out the inside to fit over the crank and turn down the outside to fit the ring gear. I didn't adjust the bolt holes even though they are very different sizes. It should be the clamping force holding it in place. It might have been better to dowel the holes and redrill to the 1uz pcs but I haven't had any problems. Can't remember what I did for the bolts but they definitely would have had to be longer... Jad
  11. Morning, thanks for the suggestions. Not looking to diagnose or solve any issues. Was just quite surprised at how gloopy the diff was when it was removed. Given how thin ep90 is.... I don't do significant mileage just seemed like a good idea to do while the axle is already in many pieces!
  12. Evening, I am changing my axle casing and have dissembled my old axle. The diff appears to be covered in a lot of one shot grease from the CV's. Any recommendations on how to clean it? The internet suggests brake or carb cleaner.... Or should I just not worry about it? I was planning on flushing with some old (but unused) ep90 after a few hundred miles. Thanks Jad
  13. Yep sounds sensible! Got a couple of other jobs I'm lining up to do in one go so will be a little while before I do this. Least it's useable at the moment....
