Last night's episode saw me raising the seat frames 50mm, just enough to see the top of the grille shell, also been buggering about with steering wheels, looks like i'm using an old Ford Pop item,, (cheers Philbilly), Got the shiftknob fitted (was a bit nervous welding a nut to a hand grenade). Jono's still running round snipping wires and planning where my elastics should go safely..... Still awaiting gasketts so i can fire up n see if we're still noisy, but until then,,,, all the other small jobs seem to be falling slowly into place.

charlie if you still got the old oil filter I would suggest cutting the top of it NOT WITH A GRINDER OR A HACKSAW but with a can opener and open up the paper element and see if it contains much metal debris that will give you a damn good idea if your followers are problem or if its possible sumuts else!!. Remember flow over the paper will be outside to inside to any kack will be on the outside of the element...

Strictly speaking, It doesnt need to be legaly on the road. Just needs to exceed 160mph. Then it can out run police helicopters!
Something to bear in mind..........

was there nothing in the filter element if nothing there then U could say it is a lifter or a loose bolt, wich sooner or later would have dumped debris in the filter. If you do have crap in the filter then I would suggest a strip down and a good inspection of the oil pump and pessure relief valve. Im sure Chris will help you sort it out. ;D
