Vintage Grumble Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's cool to see that motor running, I was the 3rd person to buy it for a project and not use it, so you must be the lucky 5th owner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 it was bloody clean inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 well since ive had oil in the motor its been leaking .I thought it may have been the section I cut out and welded up..... so pulled the steering rack off and dropped the sump but ........ so far so good I left it over night and it looks good. it must have been the seal.so ill try and tap the edges down and put a new bead of sealant on and see what happens. there is another wee oil leak but I think that's from the cheap arse sandwich plate I bought of tardme.

Truenotch Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 FYI this one runs two pipes until about the end of the gearbox and then goes into a single 3". Best sounding 1UZ I've heard outside of speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
