Brimo got rid of some serious weight....changed the heavy alloy clutch cover for a vented one AND got rid of some oil too!

oil leak has stopped now, took a bit of time, however, now the bottom end seems to have developed a bit of noise.  ???

Time for new earplugs or turn the iPod up. Sure it will be fine tomorrow!

seriously Brimo, what have you done? taken off the cover and replaced it with a vented one?

how many bolts did you undo when you were doing this operation (the correct answer should be 4)....did you do anything with the springs or another part of the clutch mechanism?

you can't continue past 12 o'clock if this is April's fool!
