Thread: 7 day challenge

If you have 7 uninterrupted days, then it certainly is achievable - so long as you don't have to waste time chasing parts.... Is the oil in the bell housing from the gearbox or rear main? Once the clutch pressure plate is off it should be a simple diagnosis.

Looks fun, good luck!

so what are you going to do for the last 3 days?

What's happening on day 8

While you have the engine out check the aircleaner brackets. They tend to crack at the 45 degree angle or the bolt holes where it attaches to the back of the engine. Weld it up or make a stronger one out of heavier angle iron.

Ha, mine has had this repair done by the Army. As well as the Hi-Low lever.

Thanks for that Bearman, the bracket looks pretty heavy duty, must have been replaced/ upgraded in the Tenix works carried out.
