I drove the AC for a little tour (about 60 miles) 2 days ago and again today.
It seems quite OK, the engine runs and pulls well and oil pressure is staying at a healthy 60 + psi when hot at about 2000 rpm. This is not surprising to me as all the bearings are brand new and the oil pump was in very good condition.
I adjusted 0.5 mm valves clearances as indicated in the technical book but I feel the timing is a bit noisy.
Could this clearance be slightly reduced (say 0.4 or 0.3 mm) without risk of damage to the valves and seats?
Despite I fitted some new felt, there is a quite serious oil leak at the rear crank seal when engine is running.
Any solution, except disassembling the engine again of course?
