Second day on the road after replacing the rear main oil seal and still no
leaks! :-) (yes, I remembered to put oil back in...)
One problem has cropped up though... I replaced the manifold to head
gasket (old SII style one piece unit), most of the manifold bolt / studs,
and the carb packing block and bottom gaskets. Now I have what sounds like
a vacuum leak. Once warmed up, a whistling starts. The Land Rover sounds
just like a tea kettle. It only whistles with high vacuum i.e. when gearing
down and when idling. It's quite loud, I get funny looks from other people
at intersections.
Any suggestions on how to track this leak down? I've tried spraying carb
cleaner on the joints with no luck..
