Water Wading Antics ! Advice Plz

<< < (2/3) > >>

Skibum346:
You fo realise that unless you have a snorkel fitted, recommended wading depth for a RRC is about 500mm?  

Not trying to teach to suck eggs... but if your talking bonnet depth, your getting awfy close to sucking up a air filter of water that the pistons won't be able to compress... leading to, at best, bent con rods, at worst, split block.   :shock:

merrick:
dont worry so much about the cap and above but water proof them seal the cap on to the dissie with silicone but before you do remove dissie and plug the hole in the base in a warm dry envieroment seal the vac adv mech and wiring into base with tiger seal or simillar and tape arond the end of coil [all wires] with gaffa tape and wd 40 the lot good luck

Bigblue90 , there are a few around by us  :twisted:  check out www.wetroads.co.uk and click "valleys" and "bridgend" I'm hoping to check out a few this weekend. Done the ogmore ones a few times but that was in the wifes deisel not my petrol v8  :lol:  :lol: If you want to do the ogmore ones give me a pm and I'll come up with you. Its only down the road from me.

Terranosaurus:
Instead of siliconing the cap and dizzy body together, get a bit of motorcylce inner tube roll it down the dizzy body , refit the cap and then roll the inner tube back up.

ukmudmaster:
Check the axle breather on your rear axle, it ends at the chassis and protects nothing!! extend this to the engine bay as an absolute minimum, otherwise 500mm is your lot. If you need any breathers, I can supply everything you need, at a very reasonable price.
Your fan will spray water all over the engine, so loads of WD40 is the order of the day.
Enjoy the ford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
