Re: Normal oil consumption?

Re: Front Axle Pinion Bearing

Re: Auxillary Power Port
The connector is still current production. And, knowing the part breakdown makes them cheap and easy to source on fleabay.
I however, bought 3 pin connector and sockets so I could feed 12, 24 and GND. through it. This way, I could use standard auto stuff also .

Re: Head/freeze plug question
The headbolts extend into the water jacket. You need to use a suitable sealant on the threads. (P2 is suitable)
