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!!
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!!
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
