They are truly beautiful :wink:

Found I have oil being blown out the dipstick but not sure what to do with that just yet, hopefully after a few hundred k's it settles down as it's only a fresh engine.

I have a clutch breather and one off the rocker cover going into a pcv on no:3 inlet port. It's all fine untill I venture over 6k hense my thinking of a few hundo more km's

Got the clutch hydraulics and brakes bled on my 850 restoration after a total rebuild from scratch with new everything, including pipes bent up by hand and flared etc. Has been a long job but feeling very pleased tonight! Now to drop the new donk in, hook it up and get it running before Minifest in four weeks' time. Sh!t...

Changed the oil and filter, modded the bonnet hook to clear the oil cooler, modded the bonnet latch to clear the airfilters and made an adjustable oil pressure relief now runs 65 psi cold and 55 psi hot idle. Found I have oil being blown out the dipstick but not sure what to do with that just yet, hopefully after a few hundred k's it settles down as it's only a fresh engine.

Maybe need a catch tank if you are doing those sort of REVs...

new pcv from auto part shop, so it's not old yet. I'm thinking catch an maybe. Had a new experience on the way home from work, got stuck in 4th, rolled to a halt to see whats up .....the rear roll pin fell out of the gearshift ... new one fitted and wire tied so it shouldn't happen again. One of the joys of owning a daily driven mini

At least you have to sort out the issues straight away, some of us would leave in the garage for a few weeks first!

Replaced the felt bush in the bottom of the steering column. Adjusted the trafficator lever to cancel properly while I was at it.

Fitted some genuine ripspeed hi lows no more rubbing on the rear. Stiffened the car up to. Handling much better as well. Need to let it settle and will lower a little more.
