[Call the midlife!]

Just wondering if it's ineffective and the pressure is pushing past the gasket instead of venting through the valve as it should?

Wasn't achieved with some lighter fluid and a match?

[tomaky]

Nopeeee. Pcv seems fine. Swapped it anyway. Run out of time. Torque wrench is overkill and the min is 60nm. Need the one that Rich still has haha.

Two fingers and thumb on 1/4 inch ratchet should do it.

Will return later on and have a go. I get the feeling it's over tightened.

Oh by either leaking or potentially PCV it's used some oil which it barely used to do. Will top her up post re torquing gasket. If it carries on leaking ill replace the gasket. O ring has always leaked a smidge so I'll probably do that too as I've still got a O ring from Carolyn.

Ended up bowling balling the cam cover bolts. Swapped the tensioner O ring. Will keep my eye on it now.

4 new tyres the other week for the winter, the R888's have gone, all were sitll legal aswell surprisingly. Looking to hide the Porsche away for the winter, its just passed its MOT with no advisories which is always nice. Ive been driving the MR2 during the week and trying to get the Porsche out for a hoon of a weekend.Think if i stick the Porsche in the bubble if i get out in the winter atleast ill actually use the MR2 as a sports car instead of a commuter.

[s12vea]

Use that poor mr2 tuck the porker away for the winter

[tomaky]

Think ive done about 1600 miles since MOT in Feb on the MR2, it'll be over 2k by the end of the month as its going to Sheffield. The bubble is rather expensive for the Porsche but it will be all around it.

[s12vea]

Dare I ask which tyres you fitted

[tomaky]

Summitomo, offspring of Falken.

[tomaky]

Think it's time I gave the mr2 some TLC. Rear disks appear warped. I have a pair of disks that are near new. Just need to figure out if they are fronts or rears. Planning on swapping the gb fluid. Will probably swap the oil Aswell. Its not done many miles between oil swaps but it did sit for over a year.
