She got us home - just ….. developed a miss again at Bannister about 125km out of Perth , was surging and carrying on - I assumed it had either fouled that plug again or it was about to sieze as the oil pressure had dropped so just kept the boot into it and hoped for the best.
We said goodbye to Trev Karen and Stoney at Armadale and took Brian and Kerrie to CEVA to drop their FB off , stopped at a car wash and I washed the ute plus degreased the engine bay , this was less than 10km from home and this is what she looked like once back in the shed -
Oil pressure at idle was a bit low …..

Just a tiny bit smoky - can’t figure out how to post a video on here ….
Would barely get into the shed under her own power - I think I may only have another 6 months or so of life left in this engine

to little to late but a bottle or scissor jack and length of timber between guards couple of winds gives you clearance
I had propped it open and thought it was OK - had masking tape all around it and it was floating free when flat and the bloody thing still took the paint off when i lifted it out ........
