Missed you this time as I was playing with the Ford AGAIN!

Just had all the exhaust valves renewed and the heads serviced.

Now I have what looks like a leaking welsh plug.

Want to get this completed so as to start stripping the Fasty.

By the way my Exzema returned ( same time - new year)

Today I finally nailed the problem.

The bloody salt water swimming pool.

welsh plugs.... pfa... watercooled words ;-)
LOL
I had Christo come around in his big V8. Everything in that car that holds oil has a leak.

I was too busy to make a turn past your place too - except with a trailer which I hired on old paarl road.
Next time hopefully

The salt is there to make chlorine. Gonna have to try without salt. Now all I can do is go lie in the bath in this heat.

Good to have you comment again Mr. HR
Need to see some pics of the Ford,
Also have the skin thing, but mine is from Hydraulic oil as well as brake fluid.
Use "Barrier Cream" before working now and when done, wash it off, works like a bomb
Will see you in George, not sure if Tony will be back by then, but would love to do a CT trip some time and meet up again.
Have a good day gents.

Hoping to be in George. My daughter is only back at Varsity from the Monday after so we will probably make it a family run this year.

Was worried about the Ford and LRP fuel. But have since changed to unleaded.

Which means petrol is freely available.

Last time in the Fasty we had to search for petrol.

If you have the heads off in March, bring them around and I'll cut a seat quickly to see if it is unleaded ready. They usually are.

Sorry to hear Tony, but will set a trip when you in CT later.

Dave, why are you not using LRP in the Fasty, it will run perfect, and not get hot.

Heads are fine for LRP.

Shock factor ...you know.... :lol:

Are you on watch, or just off duty, ?
