Tim very kindly offered to put the motor back on the dyno to run out the water from the engine. So this time father in law accompanied me on the trip to Market Drayton.
All went well this time, fired up straight away again and started to steam as it ran, but this time no more water entered the oil and it gradually cleaned out. Each check of the stick showed less water and clean oil, great news.
Also picked up a few more horses and torques on the way making 336bhp and 330 ft/lbs. Wahey!
However as always the good bad balance was restored when an oil leak started at the rear main seal area.
With the engine off it looked initially like the flywheel bolts might be to blame but after getting the motor home and filling it with oil to store it the leak was clearly evident. So this is why the next post will be called Leak repair 2. See I told I knew why the first one was called 1!!
Any how I did get some video of the engine on a run with me in the dyno cell, its in this short video I put together to show the family what I've been up to.
Enjoy..
