Hi all

I have been working on my engine at last now I am trying it on air....... Very Happy Cool Smile
OK done the fitting Laughing and put in the air Shocked {only a bit}all I got was 2 BIG leaks?????
Sad Sad Sad

So as there was no steam it was a case of sipt on the pipes ??????Then I had an thort Idea
Insence I have used this in caving to find the way on as you follw the smoke and smell.......Ok I like in in my shed some times .
this worked .. Smile First I found thet it was my blow down but it would not do up so I put in an "O"ring this now it is not blowing. The other one I found I still not get to ....

Also he dose want to turn over but a bit more puff is needed I guess .

This may help some of you to find the leaks without the help of steam ...But you may find that you will smell of insence and coff a bit .....

Good luck to one and all Razz

If you don't have a nose like a bloodhound soapy water is a good alternative, just brush it on around any joints and look for bubbles.

Hiya ya big ole ugly bugga Very Happy

Not too sure on the "Grease" bit but most definitely soapy water is a grand way forwards for lookin for leaks, no matter how small, you'll see bubbles puffing out. Good luck on findin n sortin 'em out though chap..
