I probably should have rinsed out the container. Just some organic matter.


FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie

Sounded a bit rattley when I fired up this morning. Even more than usual.
Fitting studs to the cover mounting was another great idea from ol’ gledge. No leaks.
I had a listen with a piece of hose to each posi-lock, after warming up and checking they were all tight. I adjusted cylinders 1 and 3 exhaust rockers 3/4 turn preload but really couldn’t pick anything being out. Just the noisiest overhead gear I’ve ever known, since the new head went on. Oh well. Just drive the thing and forget it.
