Bud, I read that article when I first put the Petronix in about a year or so ago. I cut down the rotor cap as you suggested. The cap looks clean and with no signs of wear, carbon build up or any arcing. The carbon brush is springy with very little wear on the tip.

What was the ambient temperature? On a hot day, the engine compartment can become hot enough to start getting vapor lock, particularly if driving slowly. Cheers - Dave
It was in the mid 60's, overcast and occasional drizzle. I watched the temp gauge and it was never over 80 C.
Sorry, I can't help with the oil leak, especially on that side of the engine. Seems odd that it only happens when the engine is warm. I assume it still happens even at low idle when the engine's hot.
But I really wanted to say, you can drive at 60+ mph for over an hour? I can only get my TD up to about 62 on a good day and I don't keep her there for very long.
I have my fire extinguisher on the front face of the rear bulkhead, across the top of the tailshaft hump. Its out of the way but still close at hand and it can also look good. Denis
Ideally just a couple of thou, but it's a high-wear location. I usually end up having to remove everything, weld the oblong holes, and re-drill them round. If you havn't done the O'Connor clutch mods, this is the time to do them.
My standard warning - one element is always connected to another, so be prepared for more rather than less...
Nearside rattle now diagnosed as shock absorber failing (its started leaking and has poor bounce). Maybe drivers side has rattle as well as some play in top of suspension.
