SR2 oil leak

[camillitech]

Morning chaps,

Cyril my 1972 SR2 has been leaking oil since I bought him, no big deal but he'd only done 50h when I bought him and has just clocked up another hundred as back up for my 'off grid' set up. It was nothing major, just wee drips that were getting blown onto my battery bank by the fan. As it was a poor day on Wednesday I had a look at it.

It was quite a common leak on the SR's and ST's and it came from the D shaped rubbers sandwiched between the heads and alloy pump and pushrod casing.

Being a lazy type and as the engine only had 150h on it I did them without removing the heads http://lifeattheendoftheroad.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/wettest-summer-in-100years-aye-right/ not very 'kosher' I know but it did the trick and saved me some graft.

Cheers, Paul

Nice fix there Paul! Nice to see that common sense has not gone completely by the wayside.
