skiffer Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Everything but the oil filter change went to plan.. oil filter is having none of it.. that's with the correct tool.No leaks I can see. Though the exhaust at manifold sounds slightly different. That may be my ears though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Everything but the oil filter change went to plan.. oil filter is having none of it.. that's with the correct tool.you sometimes have to butcher oil filters to get them off. stab them with a big screwdriver and wrench them round.

Doubt won that battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiffer Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 One of the downpipes isn't connected proper which is very annoying. You can hear it isn't sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 downpipe isnt connected properly?? what at the engine end or the end where all 4 pipes meet up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiffer Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 4 pipes at engine, one is blowing at manifold... I did it up in the wrong order instead of reversing the process. Gets hot instantly so made rectifying the problem painful. It'll wait til the morning. The noise is frustrating so it must be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 sounds like you could have dropped a gasket I would get 4 new ones and replace them as they are cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 if you dont fix it then it just bogs the hell out of you sometimes the heat causes expansion and seals it up when hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiffer Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 It drives me f ING mad.. even when going or opening up that little pathetic hiss is there in the back ground. I dried to create a seal this morning. Just waiting on new parts to arrive. Resisting urge to exhaust putty it. Just be messy doing it that way.
