It's like Christmas, hey Mike. Who's been a good boy?
My 404C resto begins!
- Thread starter Mike Tippett
- Start date
I chopped a small bit of a finger tip off on Christmas day when peeling potatoes (!) so had to let it heal before commencing garage work. This meant the week after Xmas, which I had off as holiday, was therefore a bust for 404C work.
However, today I made the last of the new brake lines, version 2.0, and installed it. Next weekend I will attempt a bleed and hope to move onto the next stage: engine reassembly.

Finally beginning to resume work. That tapered ring compressor is the best thing ever. Next step is crank installation.
I may be a little out of context with this one and old school, but noticed the Mobil 1 container.
Maybe not such a good idea to use a synthetic friction modified oil for assembly and initial fill.
I use basic "cheap" unmodified oils for running in a new engine.

It was just for initial assembly. The non synthtic break-in oil will go in the sump. First break in oil will be used for an hour or so and then changed again for another. Change for regular Motul classic oil after 1600 km.
