After letting the motor sit for 24 hours with the oil in it, no new leaks have appeared. In contrast to two days ago, oil leaked almost immediately after I filled the engine, I would say I have fixed the problem (that I caused myself!). So today was spent refitting the engine and gearbox back into the chassis. The photo to the right (with the obligatory foot from my mate Steve!) shows the engine back in place. We were on a roll so we fitted the manifold (had to jack the rear of the gearbox up to get the back manifold bolt in) and the 4 - 1 collector, the short throw gear lever and the billet aluminum gear knob. While waiting for the sump sealant to cure yesterday I finished all the body wiring off. This included routing and securing the rear wiring loom, as well as the front body loom in the engine bay. I also tidied up and secured all the under dash loom wiring in preparation for refitting the scuttle. It was nice to finish the weekend off that started so badly with some progress.
