Or, in other words, where is a first time engine builder most likely to go wrong?

QUOTE(Tdskip @ May 1 2019, 06:43 PM)  Or, in other words, where is a first time engine builder most likely to go wrong? I didn't realize just how important the main case bolt rubber seals are. The bolts go through oil galleys, and have to hold back full oil pressure. I tried to reuse the old ones and now I have lots of weeping oil leaks. Everything has to fit close and tight to seal in the oil. |
