Dell'orto 3,244 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 Have you taken the cam cover off to see if it looks like it's been reground? More importantly, have you performed a stationary full load cooling system test yet???? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope and nope lol I could take the cam cover off but I don't have a new gasket to put back on it at the moment.. and chances are the gasket will disintegrate when I remove it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dell'orto 3,244 Report post Posted December 28, 2017 RTV is your friend there....though I'm guessing all the L series use the same gasket anyway, so oughtnt be a major to get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kicker 18,242 Report post Posted December 28, 2017 Have seen some on TM for $12, standard gasket paper type not the rubber kind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you trim the shield? (did you use your damn teeth?! :-D) Yeah it worked out well, but the brake line is not the same which is annoying but chances are someone will make one that suits. Car like this has a big following now so it's actually pretty easy to find most bits and info. lol used combo of tin snips and bolt cutters hahah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dell'orto 3,244 Report post Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah I need to send my invoice in for those brakes...spent ages trying to clean up the old flare nuts. Previous owner-san must have been built like a brick shithouse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
