75 spitfire put in a header and a weber
apparently the clearance between the engine and the frame, even with the engine mounts loosened, was not quite enough. required a little help. not such a good idea; you can see on the header the oil, which of course makes for extra fun while driving. the leak clearly is right at the joint b thatbs where the stain starts on the header. I figure I need to remove the oil pan, possibly straighten it, and put in a new gasket. any big deal? just drain the oil, unbolt the thing, and then the reverse? torque in any particular order? anyone know the spec? just a little gun shy b when I was a teenager I attempted to remove the oilpan on a slant 6 chrysler, and found that between the steering rack (I think) and the frame, the oil pan would not come out. I believe I had to cancel a date that night because then I had no car. or at least postpone it. did not put me in her good stead. she married someone else . . . _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
