It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Done a service today well most of it as time wasn't on my side lol.


Pipercross panel filter, oil filter, sump gasket sealer, fuel filter, pollen filter, sump plug


Removed the sump to get to the oil pick up pipe




Cleaned the sealer off the sump and cleaned the old oil and loads of grime from inside the sump and cleaned the sealer and oil from the bottom of the engine where the sump fits


Also cleaned the oil pick up pipe out using brake cleaner it was starting to get quite clogged up but now looking like this



Didn't get the fuel filter done or the pollen filter due to time but will get those done Monday lunch time. Didn't use the sump plug either as it looked too big for the thread and I tried putting it in and it didn't feel right so I just reused the old plug as I didn't want to cross thread the sump using the new one.

Got the pipercross panel filter fitted and I got a downpipe from r5gtt which I removed the pre cat which I fitted today and it feels so much more responsive and picks up a lot better unfortunately due to time didn't get pics.

Nice job! I need to be doing stuff like this, but don't feel I have the space or am equipped enough.
