MicroMachinery Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What's up with the oil? Where's it leaking from, and why's it so bad? Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What's up with the oil? Where's it leaking from, and why's it so bad? timing cover, it's all over everything. My hood has a layer of oil on it, spark plug wires are oily...huge pool under the car too. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Oh damn. Did it crack? Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 i have no idea, everything is coated so it's hard to tell. kelly says its getting sprayed out by the fan so maybe it's not that bad... Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Check that little inspection cover that's on the front of the head(oblong; has 3 bolts). If the gasket in there is bad, you can clean it up and seal it with RTV. If it's the crank seal, that's no problem either. The easy way to do it is to drain the coolant system and remove the radiator to get at the crank pulley, but if you don't want to do that, it can be done without removing the radiator. I've done it that way. Not sure how much space is there in a 710. Luckily, you can get the crank seal at Napa for about $5.33. That's what I paid w/ my discount. As long as the timing cover isn't cracked, it should be a cinch to fix. Quote Link to comment

nukeday Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What is the policy at Canby on selling parts if I don't get a vendor spot? Can I just freelance out the back of a truck in the parking area? Quote Link to comment

dvboth Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What is the policy at Canby on selling parts if I don't get a vendor spot? Can I just freelance out the back of a truck in the parking area? Why don't all the ratsun guys band together and get a space to sell in? just a thought! saves problems and complaints about selling out of the trunk. The trailer guy can park it in the spot and you all can sell out of it! It's only $20 for a space for the weekend. Dave Quote Link to comment

Crank seal is easy to do with cover on, well not real easy but do able. Crank seals will leak all over and the fan will blow it around. Check the obvious places like the valve cover at the front, dizzy base and oil pump and take a careful look at the front of the oil pan too. One other obvious thing is to check that all the bolts into the timing cover and snug but don't over tighten them specially the oil pan as this can pinch the gasket or even bend the pan and make it worse.

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Wow, I forgot this was coming up so fast. I've kind of been on hiatus from forums for a while. I should be making it up with my dad in his 4-door 510. We will probably be trailering it due to the price of race gas and lack of trunk space for gas cans. Quote Link to comment
sick620 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I will be there in a bedless 620! Quote Link to comment

Won't it cost a bit to tow it also?? Quote Link to comment

Not sure how much because the racecar it came out of never had a speedo. I'm guessing it'll probably get about the same mileage as the truck that will pull it minus paying $10 a gallon.
