Oh bother, dash, and other splutterings. Jamie's silicone seal seal, check fastenings between block & crankcase as advised, after first twenty mile trial run everything clean and gleaming. Now after 100 miles the torrent, well trickle, of oil has resumed. Does this indicate that even Jamie's special seal can't cope with less than flat tin tappet cover, or should I fear a bigger job relating to the relationship between block and crankcase. Fortunately scrutes at forthcoming nav events will be able to inspect the engine after the application of increasingly oily rags, but is an engine out job indicated for the winter?
The Bennie Railplanes were powered by electric motors, so no dripping oil on the honest folk of Milngavie. There were quite a few aeroplane engines at Chateau Impney, the Spollon family seemed free of noise check requirements so exhausts were cast aside allowing the 27 litre FIAT to spit flames in all directions and the Napier Bentley to be rather louder than Shelsley the week before.
