    ### - had his little bottom steam-cleaned of oil & brushed haha :)

    some dreadful oil leak being investigated i rather feared for the worst, a blown sump gasket, timing-case or even the front engine oil seal being the worst case scenarios (not impossible to repair nor that expensive in terms of parts, just expensive in
    terms of labour getting at them...) but no, all it turned out to be was a simple dodgy rocker-cover gasket, a good quality one costing around £30 + the steam clean + the labour coming to around only £100 all-in! cool :)

    what a little trooper! and now goes like the proverbial clappers to boot! beats
    almost anything away from the lights, and when those revs gets to around 4,500 its power really kicks-in! and not even a puff of blue smoke in sight! (isn't burning any oil i
    mean, so the engine is sound...)

    aww and he's only just 15-years old lol :)

    all he really requires now is a steering pump, the one that's in there still working fine albeit a bit noisey, so will drive it till it fails and replace it
    then, the dude at the garage suggesting it wasn't even that bad and could last another several
    years before actually failing... so not even urgent!

    gonna carwash him tomorrow + let it wax his ass too, and that's it!

    min! he's now a top little fella in his 2004 class...

    haha... min! :)

    Amsoil is the best
    any one of these will do a good trick for ya
