Only way to fix it properly is to replace the seal and the bushes that the selector shaft actually pivots in.

If you can wait another couple of weeks and get the box over to me, I'll do a rebuild on it mate. Can't do anything atm, as I've got enough jc5's to last me a lifetime! Lol

Excellent news sonny!!! This just goes to show that ktec no longer deserve the shite that's been thrown at them. Sean is a legend as well tbf. He's on with a little project for me with a gen90 currently too. :cool:

Cheers mate. That's how I prefer it - different to everyone else! Yeah providing the weather is ok, there will be plenty of footage!!

Cheers sonny!

Yeah. Use arp! Lol! That's as much insight into that as I'm ever going to have. I'm on standard head bolts as well. Good enough for R3 maxi - good enough for me. :up:

Gearbox oil cooler pump and system now primed up and no leaks. Getting good at this now! :wink: Pms shifter has been fitted today. I thought these were difficult to setup?!?! Piece of piss tbqfh! Must be beginners luck eh! :cool: Not much left to sort now, although the undershield is having some...

I only rebuild boxes mate, I don't have any that I can supply unfortunately.

Just buy some high tensile (12.9) cap heads to replace the original main bearing bolts. That's what I've got on mine, and it's withstanding 8krpm.

Yes mate. The pms manifold I have dictated this.

It's only modified in the fact that I've changed the position of the breather take off mate. Otherwise it's just a standard plate.

I'd have to dig them out mate, but £30 delivered? @alexadams182

Most certainly are mate. They're a used set from a spare 172 head I had. All straight and true.

I've got a set of inlet valves @alexadams182 if you're interested?

Yes mate, but be warned, you'll need to be very careful when you move it as it'll be very easy to go to far, or alter the geo.

It's more a case of that not all cars are the same mate tbh, so the location points can be in a different position slightly. If you look at the alignment spec for the rear end of one of these cars, you'll see what I mean. The tolerances are f**king ridiculous. Lol

Yes mate that's the ones. Lubricate the living s**t out of them before you try and loosen them, otherwise they'll spin and you'll make your life miserable!!

I'd genuinely be surprised if the disc is the cause of the problem, but it's a possibility. You'll only know the answer to that one my swapping the discs around. It could just need the location points adjusting though.

I know what power it's made as it was me who set the cam timing, and I can assure you, it's a good graph!

Flare plate should read, flat plate mate! Typo on my part.

I have the Renault gasket on mine mate - there's a reason why they fitted one. The ONLY way that oil can get in that upstand part is if the engine is breathing. They all breath a small amount anyway, mainly from the vacuum effect tbh, but a small amount of oil in there is the norm. Yeah you'll...

Yeah that's the one I'm meaning mate. Also, there should be a gasket on the breather plate (there is on 182's and 197's), so if this isn't there it will allow the plate to sit lower. This in turn will reduce the performance of that seal. Yeah with the upstand blanked off then no vapours will...

Are you sure it's not coming from the dephaser solenoid seal mate? It's another area to check. In answer to your question though, yes you could block it off with weld, but my main concern would be indentifying 100% that the leak is definitely coming from there. There shouldn't be any oil in...

I forgot mate! I've still not rolled them yet either. I'll be on that this week - Friday is the target.

Fittings arrived today for the gearbox oil cooler lines. Soon got those made and fitted, so now it's all systems go. Tomorrows job is to prime the system and top the gear oil up. Jobs left to do before the 'Ring is: Raise the ride height 2 turns on the coilovers. Roll the rear arches and...

Dodo hasn't been seen since September 2014 mate, so I strongly doubt you will get a answer to your question from him. If you have a search you'll find lots of information on here regarding the 421's.

Yes but it depends on what gearbox you've got. If it's a jc5 089 box, they have a seal within the guide tube for the release bearing. If it's a early jc5 129 it's the same as above, but if it's a later 129 or a jc5 130, then the seal is combined with a bearing and you'll need to strip the box to...

Thanks for taking the time read the thread mate, and thanks for the kind words. I think it helps that I like to do things differently as well, but I also just enjoy f**king about with stuff! Lol! After the gearbox oil cooler and the pms shifter is installed, I'll be done. There's nothing else...

Nah I did it with a nibbler mate. More refined than a grinder! Lol! Yes, it makes the bonnet flap around a bit, but it was perfectly fine at 135+.

Run the v6 airbox directly off your throttle body with the inlet facing forwards. Cut the skin out from your bonnet and you'll have a direct air feed as the air can flow under the bonnet. That's how mine used to be when I was running the 172 engine. :up:
