checked the rod for that fifer. drilled out the hole so not tight, power filed the edges and put a loose spacer so wingnut wasnt jaming. not sure i can push the arm by hand. really stiff.
going for solid mount anyhow so would like to suss it first.

right,,, back on with this after it started pouring oil out. thought it was the rear oil seal but when i replaced it sussed it was the sump. changed the front seal as that was def leaking. took the sump off, cleaned it up and knocked the bolt holes down a bit which looked raised. cleaned the gasket with petrol and the block then put gasket seal on as well for a belt n braces job.

used the crane thing i have which runs across the depot on beam monkeys to put the engine and box back in. didnt think it would work in the past but made it proper easy.

when the steel guy asked to borrow the forks i got into him for some steel to change the mounts to solid and he gave me these to try. very solid nylon bushes with a 8mm thread down the center. put two together ,cut one down with the chop saw so the two were the same length as the original mounts.quite handy if you need to lift or lower the engine height.. they have a coller type thing at one end.

.............IT RUNS..................
15 month or so down the line i finaly fired it up. sounds ok. cured the leaking sump and rear seal but the front ones still leaking with the new seal in. had the pipes to and from the fuel pump the wrong way round, was trying to pump fuel out of the carb.
started to mount the r6 radiator , not a lot of room.
any one know what the crack is with the pipes. got the main in and out but whats the other smaller one for and the two little ones. the overflow one is tucked under the cap

Great Stuff  but the front ones still leaking with the new seal in I take it that you fitted the timing pulley before tightening up the timing cover bolts so as to centralize the cover around the pulley . If Yes , Remove the timing pulley and have a look for wear where the seal rubs on . If worn , you might need to fit a Speedi Sleeve or get another pulley in good condition . . . |

put the pully on first then nipped the bolts up.
saw the sleeve thing. how do you measure to fit or can you just say its for a reliant pully.

cheers fifer, on the phone Monday morn to them. got oil from the back again, just before i kicked its sorry ass i traced the trail. was coming from a corner of the rocker and working its way down. i apologised to it immediately.
made a bracket for the rad using the rad mounts. then centered it and tacked it on.[ made sure i could get it off, not like the axle]
