F1 style engine and gearbox drop for dubfreeze

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by pkrboo, Feb 17, 2018.

  1. So this week I pulled the gearbox to reseal it. I used crap sealant and it leaked.

    I have since redone it and took it for a test drive last night. STILL LEAKING (and probably worse)

    So today I think I am going to pull it all again and redo the sealant.

    Camping closes at 2100 tonight.

    Can I make it?

  12. Good luck and check those mating faces for any dings or dents:)(I remember years ago doing a BSA Bantam engine which had been split a couple of times before and previous people had missed some bruising on the mating faces, a quick dressing and it sealed a treat)
