Well the fronty made it home but not without a few few problems, the coolant temp was running a bit high but not bad enough to cause any problems stopped at a garage to clean the rad as i braked pulling into the garage i lost oil pressure , had a look around the engine to find the rear crank seal leaking and the front seal had blown.

Claened the rad and and put some oil in got her running with just about enough oil pressure to run the engine without causing any damage, 9 litres of oil and a lot of stops later arrived home. Have found that the engine oil had gone over temperaure causing the crank seal to blow and the oil pressure relief valve to stick. thankfully there doesnt look to be any major engine damage.

The only other problem is a partly seized thrust bearing that has destroyed the fingers on the clutch cover plate.

Had a really good weekend and at least i will have the fronty fixed by tomorrow and considering how much abuse she took did not do bad at all.

Thanks to everyone involved in organising the weekend.

Thanks Ste may be in need of the second one

Mine will be getting stripped shortly too

Might be able to get away with a skim and gasket though

[fuzion]

Oh bloody hell Ryan

Looks like we all over did it a bit this weekend

I may be looking for that red top sooner than i thought



Anyone know if a 3.1 Trooper engine and gearbox will fit ina 2.2 B

I was offerd one today for 400 notes

[marlbororman]

i like the sound of the v8`s Dont think they`ll fit though

[NiftyWolfie]

am I the only one to come away not needing new parts for their Fronty ????

[Ryan]

Have got the engine up and running again but will be building another redtop engine but a bit more special

[fuzion]

am I the only one to come away not needing new parts for their Fronty ????

Allthough Debs' Monterays rear near side bumper was hanging off, and Sugarbabes Sherman had no damage, i think, possibly, you had the least damage mate

Apart from Tiger, he only got stuck

[NiftyWolfie]

worrid now that I didn't do enough off-roading !!!!
