I fell asleep on the sofa last night so didnt get out and as far as striping the cover off of the sill. That joy can be for this evening! YRM do all of these parts for the D1. Its about time they started doing them for the D2 I think! Edited October 2, 2019 by reb78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I think removing the stud, cleaning the thread and using a little sealant would be better than PTFE tape, which may be too thick and have too little give to get the stud back in correctly. I think the oil cavity behind the stud is only pressurised by crank case breathing, not the oil pump, so a little sealant is not going to be forces past or dislodged if the bore’s threads are still a bit oily.

Think Triggers Broom Ralph. No, in all fairness, there's nothing wrong with his disco. Richard, get a move on, your transfer box case is ready for you at last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 @reb78 Rich, You want me to try and get this before we meet up in October?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 @V8 Freak , Neil, that would be good if you are passing Lutterworth at some point before we meet up? PTFE tape on the stud has worked. No more oil leaking along it. Plus the D2 is now welded up and has passed its MOT. Thats two out of three cars fully working (for now!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
