Well it finally happened, I started my 2 up for the first time today. It ran quite well, smooth, no bad engine noises! I ran it for about 10 minutes running the RPM up several times.I still have a smaller oil leak, then I had before. It seems to be coming out somewhere around the fuel pump.I probably lost about 1/3 of a quart during the 10 minutes it was running.
I bought a QuickJack that raises the car about 2' . I am going to gunk the engine around the area I think its leaking from, blow the area clean and jack it up outside. I have a big leak pan i am going to put under it, crank it up and crawl underneath to see if I can see where the oil is coming from.Could a bad fuel pump gasket lose that much oil?
Problem #2. I put a new clutch slave cylinder on, but had a hard time bleeding it. The petal keep going down to the floor, with no resistance.I finally gave up and took the slave cylinder off to see if it was faulty. The piston appeared fine and would go in and out smoothly. Then I noticed that the rod in the new one was about 1" shorter then the old one? I am going to re-install the part with the old longer rod and see if I have solved the problem.
