It woks well but water is a huge problem. As it got colder the more clumpy it was getting and less effective. Tool for good weather imo.
Oh also.. wear a mask and goggles because it goes absolutely everywhere! And tastes pretty foul.

Finally got some time to work on the injin again, got the old cam bearings out using a long bit of threaded rod and various sized sockets.
Also I made the new oil pick-up for the chain.
After some pondering from myself, the old man and my mate Jon (my resident genius) we managed to come up with a new oil pick up using the oil that returns from 1 of the heads.
The idea of just drilling some holes would allow oil to pass through but only run down the front of the block which is useless; so using some silicone pipe we made a feed that goes directly on the chain (still needs trimming once the new bits are all in).
