As I described in my build thread, last year, once I got the engine running, I noticed significant oil drops (or more) after each drive. With winter in full throttle, I decided to drop the motor, and see about fixing the leak.
Here's the view of the front. Maybe you can see some oil. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Here's the cover off. No dramatic scoring. Also no gasket. I am trying to remember if I did this on purpose. Stupid #2?

Here's the cover off. No dramatic scoring. Also no gasket. I am trying to remember if I did this on purpose. Stupid #2? No gasket, but it does appear some residue of a sealer. When she was running how was the oil pressure, cold and hot? What pump is this? As best as I recall, I used a thin skim of case sealer (Loctite 574). The pump is a 26mm Shaded, modified (from Aircooled.net). I only have a oil pressure warning light (something I plan to correct while the engine is out). All I can say is that the light went off quickly after both cold and hot starts, and never came on at idle. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
