This MR2 sounds like a JET!?!

We plan some normal maintenance and repairs on the MR2, but quickly get sidetracked with a modification which ends up being absolutely WILD

Nice I had a competition yellow aw11 30 years ago.

As a heads up the 4age never came with an oil pan gasket, it used rtv from the factory (I for sure went a little heavy on it when i threw the motor in as you can tell, not sure where that missing bolt is lol). Btw check the old dizzy hole. I used a universal freeze plug to fill it and I'm not sure how its holding up. The turbo drain maybe be as well, so you might want to check that to. Just seems weird that the oil pan is leaking now because it never leaked when i had it.

I found a set of oil pan gaskets from felpro that actually fit, and I used RTV as well. I guess they started making them lol.
But it is strange, it also didn't fix the leak. The cylinder head was broken near the exhaust cam, where the valve cover seats. I tried to get that fixed but there's some were still leaking oil. It might be the turbo return line, it's hard to find.
I'll check that distributor hole though! Haven't even been able to see back there yet 😅
The worst I fear is the front main seal, but I'll exhaust all my options until then.
I'm excited about getting the liquid part of the intercooler hooked up, I have all the parts for it! Just waiting to record doing it.
Thanks for the info though, as always you're a huge help 😁

@@TheCherryGarage I dont think ive ever had a front or rear main leak on a 4age, cam seals for sure though. But im willing to bet if its leaking alot its either turbo, oil 90 degree sandwich (its a ford part btw), or the dizzy cover I used.

[@TheCherryGarage]

It seems like it's starting from the upper end the more I look at the leak, I'm glad you mentioned the dizzy and cam seals, I'll take a closer look at those. You the man 🤝
