Have to drive back up to Dublin from Limerick in a bit, its going to be torture, have the Aircon out of the Teg and the engine gets so hot even when its on cold warm air comes through the vents, if i have the windows down on the motorway ill be deaf!
The guards will be out too as none of them will want to be in, so that means everyone will be driving like a snail.
On the plus side, Vtec and a day like today on the country roads to birdhill will be savage0 -

Matt, you should buy a car that doesn't need to be fixed as much (hint hint!). That way you get to drive it more!0 -

I drove over Sally's Gap this evening, just took it hangy all the way from Tallaght to Bray, this weather makes me just want to cruise rather than rip the roads up.
Got back home at around 10 and didn't want to stop driving so took a spin out to the all night Topaz at Kill, they have a sit down area and I wanted a blast but as soon as I turned onto the N7 at Citywest there was a BMW pulled over by an unmarked Garda Car so I ended up being a good boy
On the way back in there was another car pulled over by a different unmarked car, I'd say thee was some amount of Speeding tickets handed out today0 -

My way is more educational, thats why German car drivers are so smart. :P:cool:Matt, you should buy a car that doesn't need to be fixed as much (hint hint!). That way you get to drive it more!
For instance, today I fixed a glaring design flaw in the BMW V12 design:
Its not meant to be unscrewing it self like that!0 -

Another classic is the oil pump bolts unscrewing in M60 and M62 V8s, plenty of owners have found them lying in the pan!0 -

Is that a SOHC I see with 2 valves per cylinder?
What is it that working itself loose... is it a bolt holding on an oil rail?0 -
LOL!

Yep SOHC, as the yanks call it, dinosaur technology (yes even by American standards the M70/S70 is antiquated).
The bolt is one of 5 banjo bolts (per engine side) that feeds oil into the oil spray bar. This one would have been shooting oil into the rocker cover sides and not into the spray bar at all. This would cause excessive wear on the Cam lobes. Damage may already be done, I should have removed the nuts either side and looked under, may look like this (hope not):

(Not my car).
At the very least I can rest assured damage is limited now and prevented for the future as I opened both engine sides and thread locked all 10 banjo bolts in place.
Given the heat, had to take water breaks frequently too, the wheel arch was so hot it was burning my legs! Its a long engine bay to be leaning into.0 -
Yeah, mine's the same, tho only 2 valves per cylinder to make room for a 2nd plug per cylinder. All bar one cylinder can have the valves paused to reduce pumping losses too.Matt Simis wrote: »Yep SOHC, as the yanks call it,
