Providing the bearing had some oil in it prior to starting, there are no issues with idling it to check oil flow. Edited 10/03/19 07:56 AM by Puffwagon I just like to edit stuff

I don't have a macOS setup at the moment to re-do that bit, so I'll probably setup a hackintosh virtual machine at some point and do that... 1

I think it's a necessary update In other news, the territory has a night and day difference with just 10 litres of e85 in a full tank of 98 with a tune adjustment. I've added up to 15 litres before but I'm not really game to put much more in cos the fuel pump is still stock. Even with mostly hwy cruising I've used about 3/16th of a tank for about 80km. Good, but not that good.

I can get my average fuel into the high 11's if I grampa drive but that never happens. It's a bit of a waste flogging a family bus, but I didn't chuck the e85 in to drive gently! I can feel that turbo bug biting at me 1
