GOAL!!!!



60 miles round trip and no problems!!!!!! clean and dry.


Well i say no problems...... nothing i didn't cause.


From the begining...

Fitted the seal, rolled the engine back in, got the lower bolts through and got a nut on finger tight the added top bolts and tightened.

Jacked uo engine, added fuel, cables etc and ready to go.

50 miles later and took a wrong turn, reverse gear and the whole thing judders like mad on the clutch. Could hardly turn it around. Gutted!! :cry:


gets to campsite and looks under for the normal leak and its dry, notice 6mm crack between bell housing and engine. I'd never tightened the bottom nuts!! :oops:

Beg and borrow a spanner and its tightened. judder gone!!

all smiles! Next stop is diving at capers (2 hours via car so 3 by bus) any luck its then 9 hours+ to Oban :)
