S4 Se Knock Off Rim Needed, Oil Leak
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2004 2:26 pm
I am in search of a spare knock off rim for a 1970 Elan S4SE. My car does not have a spare. Mounted or unmounted OK. I am in the USA. Let me know if anyone has one available for sale. Or where can I buy one?
My twin cam has a large oil leak just above the fuel pump. My Book shows this as the Oil tube that drains oil from the head to the block. It is behind the carbs by piston #3,,,The book says the most common ailment is a worn, or mis shaped rubber seal on the top of the tube,... Any advise on how to repair this?? Is there any way to repair the leak without pulling the head off? And where can I buy the New seal. ? If I have a pro shop that specializes in Lotus twin cams do the work, how much should I expect to pay?? I would of course have to put in a new head gasket, valve cover gaskets, D plugs. Or should I live with the leak?? Thanks in advance for any help.
