[PROJECT] Bridgeport Rebuild

[Old Minger]

   

So I plugged the leaks from the oil meters by replacing the olives, however I could not get the oil to flow in two of the oil channels on top of the saddle ways. It would seem that the fit of the oil pipe in the oil channel hole was not a good fit and it would leak faster out of the hole than it could supply the oil channel, does any of that make sense?. Anyway all I could think of was to apply some high grade silicon around the pipe and oil channel entrance hole to stop the back flow. It seems to have done the job and oil is going to where it should do. 

Tomorrow I hope to put the table on and level the old girl.

Cheers
