Currently completely stripped to investigate low oil pressure when warm. Can clearly see where the internal leakage has been. New bigger through bolts from Camit are being fitted with great care on the s ealing we hope to have it performing well before long. Other mods with Camit supplied parts will be published with pictures when we are finished.
