I hate how things take so much time lol.
Dropped the back 20mm, it's level now and I want the front to go down a bit LOL!
Drove down the lane with huge potholes where I work and deliberately hit the big ones and had no trouble bar scraping so it can go lower.
Drained the oil and the very last bit was a bit sludgy, flushed with cheap oil and then filled with Castrol Magnatec.
Drained out the brown coolant
flushed until clear and filled with a 50/50 mix. Will drain in a week or so and fill up again with a new header tank and thermostat (not that there is anything wrong with it just while I'm on a run, for £4 I'll do it).
I have discovered a fairly crap running issue. On idle is is just running rough. One time so much so it cut out. It's misfiring. I will be doing the plugs and leads but it seems very much to me like an air leak.
ALTHOUGH, it only happens when warm so I have a brand new spare temp sensor and will put that in. I have done the usual checks for airleaks (carb cleaner all around intake because it will cause a misfire if there is one) and can't find one. Physically looked and listened and the only place it seems to get air is from the proper place, block this and it stalls immediately.
Stopped the rocker cover leaking by taking it all off and blocking down the cover and head surfaces AGAIN and using a genuine gasket.
Don't use cheap sh!t.
Although I want to refurb that again sometime.
Probably in pink.
Started cleaning it and DAMN I love this colour. It's amazing!
It looks so beasty at sun down.
Just gotta try and sort the headlight alignment.
