Well, I need to finish plumbing in the LPG system first - still got the gas pressure/temp unit, and the vacuum takeoffs from the plenum to do. Along with the filter inline from the vapouriser
That being said, I have bigger problems at the moment... had a look underneath today to find oil drips on some of the sump bolts, and a large trail of dried coolant. I've nipped up the sump bolts, and traced the coolant trail back to one of the front cover bolts (long one that goes through water pump and timing cover) with coolant drips/stains off that.
I'd managed to leave my fan nut spanners at the workshop - but could just get to it from the bottom with a socket to give it a nip up. Fingers crossed that is all it needed, though if it's been weeping down the bolt shaft, then maybe I need to pull that bolt and put some RTV or something on it. Worst case, I guess I'll be dumping the coolant and replacing the water pump gasket. I'm sure it was all sat and sealed properly when I put it together, and all the bolts were torqued up properly.. I wonder if it's because all the stainless bolts come with spring washers and that under the head of the bolt is causing it to be able to seep out the bolt shaft.
I've just been to the workshop to grab the spanners, so at least I have the tools at home now to be able to get back in there if needed...
The downside.. the shiny new engine is already starting to look filthy (well apart from the leaks!) as it's had another couple of trips up the farm track, and it's pretty muddy up there at the moment!
Sigh... it would have been nice to make it a week without it leaking.. the coolant tank was nearly 2" below the cold line - so it can't be a small leak... considering I've only done about 50miles on it so far :(
