Undressing Kate, my Chim 430 resto.
Discussion
Well, I got the update this morning
Although nothing can be found that's wrong, there is still no oil pressure.
So both good and bad news I guess.
The new water pump is leaking but as it looks like the timing cover will need to come off, to check oil lines in there, I guess it'll be easier to re seal it then.
Kate will NOT be going to the ball.
My target will not be met
On the plus side, I truly believe I can hold my head high and be throughly proud of what has been achieved in only 6 months with the help of some truly amazing people that have gone out of their way to assist.
There have been set backs and hold ups along the way but for now her grand entrance will need to wait.
I'm not giving up on her but as the sunny days lessen I'm not sure how much I'll get to enjoy her before theScottish winter sets in.
Not sure when the next update will be.
Thanks
Cokes

Sorry to hear the news Colin.
Very good decision to send it out to fix the no oil pressure problem.
Too right you can be proud mate!
Hang on in there, all will come right in the end.

Once all the simple things have been tried (and yes, that includes me and my patients) and it still doesn't work it's then back to the engine builders to see what they've got to say for themselves.

That's a real pity Colin. Hope you make it along at the weekend anyway.

Wouldn't miss it for anything. Even without a car.Robin
The Audi S4 I've taken the last 2 years was sold to fund the TVR build so this year I'm going co pilot with Marcus and his black wedge.
Hi Robin.
Yeah we ran off quite quickly on Monday, Marcus's alcohol levels had dropped and he wanted to get home top up again
Anyway, Kate, I'm off to see her tonight and make my mind up what the next step is.
Oil pressure starts to build but only lasts about 10 seconds before it disappears and doesn't return.
I think it's back to the engine builder but that will probably mean open heart surgery so it'll need to come out.
I'll have an update later tonight.

She lives
Wrong timing cover gasket fitted.
Can you spot the problem ?
First time she's moved under her own steam since 22nd of February.
A quick round the block (less than a mile)to check all is well and she's back on a trailer to be brought back to my garage tomorrow.
Timing to set and then it's running in time.
