t11 update

Postby t11 » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:44 pm

Hi all a bit of an update on the t11, I when out sunday with the intension of taking video footage of the car on my local roads I did get about 12 mins or so but ran into a problem by way of 1 of the high pressure oil pipes going to the remote oil filter letting go and plastering the entire back of the car in oil , you've never seen such a mess thanks to the RAC I was home in 1/2 an hour, its now cleaned up and needless to say the company who made the pipe go a bit of a telling off now with a new pipe fitted and a clean up I can get out on the road again this weekend with the video and try again...........Gordon :mrgreen:

I know that one! When restoring a two seater 1961 Elva race car, the newly rebuilt engine didn't have quite the oil pressure we wanted, so my mate took off the oil can lid ( dry sump engine ) and looked in, when there was a gurgle and woooosh.....oil came out four feet in the air and his face and over the garage ceiling, floor, what a mess! I nearly pissed myself with laughter :lol: :lol:
