Oil jet cleaning

[JohnD]

I had to clean mine last week. I had the car out for a drive, and i had only made it to the road end when i heard a dreadful screach and the engine locked up, so i was towed home, stripped the gearbox off thinking it was that or the flywheel/clutch - but no, by thistime the engine was turning over again. so putgearbox back on, and then started it up, by time i drove from inside to outside of the garage it done it again. Lucky my mate was here who diagnosed it as lack of oil in the bores, so plugs out, oil down the bores and it turned freely. I then cleaned the Oil lets with a length of 0.6 Mig Welding Wire. Started it up and left it to tick over for 5min, then a short test dive and all seemed well.

The weekend past i done around 40- 50miles of up and down hill driving and it ran faultlessly
