I’ve dish washed car parts, washed stuff in the bath and oven baked engine blocks. Spray painted parts in the conservatory, but I don’t think I’ve ever used a engine stand on laminate floor...!!

Do the OEM pipes have a pressure limiting valve? My Beamer had one and the clutch was so lazy with it fitted that I bypassed it.

ok, so another attempt. New concentric slave, interestingly came with a note with " DO NOT COMPRESS". which is of course, the exact opposite to what i did before. So the bearing slides off no problem. Then a slight bit of filing to the housing the make an interference fit :- WP_20191003_21_27_48_Pr...

What got hurt on the clutch?

Thanks efi_sprintgte a considered solution, thanks.

Ive had success flushing with a high detergent diesel oil such as 15w40 mineral.

Does anyone know how durable these gearboxes and diffs are as I am building something that I would like to be as reliable as I can get it? Thanks in advance. Diffs are very strong. The manual OD gearbox has been used for sprinting by a few people with 230+bhp and they’ve been ok, although the gearc...

Engine just unsiezed :D :D As said above there's a lot of mess but man am I a happy lad. Had a mark on it and noticed after a breaker bar pull that it had shifted ever so slightly about 2 days ago. So more acetone and ATF for the last 2 days. Then a few gentlish pulls and I saw the mark definitely ...
