It just rattles on and on

Last weekend we went to watch European Drag racing at the Main event at Santa Pod. The Day before we set off the Fuel pump on the Transit decided to pack in so we had to take the Vito.

Which isn't very well at the moment either with a blowing exhaust and a badly leaking Fuel injector seal. However it runs just fine, but sounds just awful, and of course it got us there and back no problems!
The transit fuel pump is an expensive repair but there really isn't a cheap option.

the Main event wasn't up to last years standards as the weather played a big part. Mondays eliminations were called off due to rain, and sundays qualifying was affected by a strong headwind.


That doesn't mean it wasn't good as there were some great runs in several classes, including a side by side 300mph+ top Fuel Dragster run, 315mph in one lane and 317mph in the other.

Earlier this evening i made the new oil seal holder for the crankshaft oil seal. It's nearly finished, other than some polishing, and it solves the problem i had quite neatly.
