Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2018 3:48 pm
i've been so busy getting my engine, body, electrics, etc ready for my elan presentation in oldtimermarkt magazin because they were looking for someone who knows a lot about OUR punks AND someone who restored the entire car by himself (the didn't ask about the electrics and i forgot!).
........................in any case here's the parts and work done stuff in question
........................the symptoms
a) bottom was still new (a 23B crank!! from santa barbara) and new shells
b) timing case put back together with 3Bond silicone
c) new ajusa gasket
d) freshly honed, cleaned 701 with new accralites
e) head checked for paralellity - machine shop didn't pressure check for cracks, but gave their ok
f)
symptomes:
a) cream all over the place - i just emptied all the f.. Cream and cleaned where i could (cam area). then i poured a gallon of gasoline through the engine: not in one go.
b) water and cream came out of the sump (dry s) ------------------ later almost clear gas!
c) the water system, as i see it, stayed untouched
d) always had nice high oil pressure
Where DO you expect the water leak fellas???? the car should be running in 2 weeks - for the mag.
this isn't my 1st engine and i cant see my possible mistake(s)!?!?
