Thread: URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR LR90 on Route

I was running it with the air intake off, mostly I wanted to check before putting all the "clutter" back in the front that there were no leaks.

The engine in its previous steed was run through a oil bath air filter...that might have been then why it was not as noticeable. I imagine that would cause a sufficient reducing in airflow.

What did you use to restrict the intake manifold?

Engine oil is 20W-40 I think...I'll check the tub.

I will keep the pump bottle for the time being - 750ml...should do the trick. I'll plumb a second feed into the intake manifold so it doesn't feed the fumes into the driving compartment.

I ordered up a cyclone breather (from the UK, $16 vs $75 [+$13 postage] here) and can have a play with that when it arrives next week.

Cheers Ben!

So, I started putting the front end back together. Only to find that the fan shroud fouls the fan. I had a look at the old engine and it has a longer pulley. I had a faff for the evening until giving up in a huff. Need a special spanner to get the viscous coupling off....grrr

Does anyone have one off these I could borrow for the afternoon?
