bonkas Posted Thursday at 21:32 Share Posted Thursday at 21:32 Does anyone know if any oil leakage is a no no? Common sense would say any oil leake would fail inspection. I have a small drip from the front crank seal which causes a small noticible spot on the ground (20mm diameter puddle if I was to guess after a day of sitting) and wetness underneith. Not going to be able to fix this in time but I have been told I need to try make it to one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rislone Rear Main Seal Repair 500ml - 44240 - Risln | Repco New Zealand Yeah I have looked at this kinda thing but have avoided it as it is a fresh engine, brand new seals but there must be odd wear on the crank causing this, replacing the seal with another new genuine part and moving the seal a but to get a fresh sealing surface hasnt helped.

440bbm Posted Thursday at 21:50 Share Posted Thursday at 21:50 all it does is make the seals swell. not sure how it could damage a fresh engine. ya engine builder sucks to have missed that, or you lol. did you put the sling washer back in correct way?

If it gets missed in the morning check, the staff at meremere are quick to notice water / oil leaks on the staging and track area and will ask you to stop racing.

Not going to be able to fix this in time but I have been told I need to try make it to one of these Rule of thumb is that if it leaks a drop from when you enter and exit the Scrut shed for inspection, then it will be a problem when staging, and yes we check. If it drips after a few hours then its not so bad, but anyone who knows they have an oil leak whether it be slow or fast should spend 5 mins zip tieing some form of rag/nappy/tray under the problem area. If the underside of your engine/x-member is a mess and covered in sludge we may fail you. Please take some time before the event to have a clean up under there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
