    Leak looks fixed. Managed to do the fix without locking up the cams. I also reworked the BBK so hopefully it wont squeal as much. Weather has been a bit damp, so not had chance to test it yet.

    Replaced the oil return seal again, as the other one was clearly still weeping a bit. Tightened to 20Nm - which is 8Nm more than the book value. I am toying with the idea of an aftermarket ECU,...

    I emailed Simon @ Sitech and he wondered if the new ported W/G might not be shutting properly so I think I might put an extra turn on the pre-load & see if it spools a bit quicker.

    I fenced the work out to someone else. I only noted the fact that by the hinge side there was a few mm of meat left that could be taken away. I have been assured that it will do the business.
