Right side pics for you tech guys

[Lamonster]

I found a little oil leak on the right side of the RT that I'm hunting down. At first I thought it might be the old airbox leak but that looks clean. It may just be the sending unit but it's hard to tell. I got it wiped down now and I'll run it in the morning and see if I can find the leak.

Anyway I thought some of you guys would like to see what the right side looks like with the panels off. :doorag:

Man it looks pretty tight in there . The fan looks huge.

Replacing the air box is going to make breathing space…:thumbup:

Some stuff I don't recongnize for sure.

What is the cable & pulley?

Has to do with the parking brake.

Interesting. I wonder if it pulls until some torque / pressure is met or some switch is made to give positive parking brakes every time or do you still have to adjust the parking brakes to have them set properly?

It is self adjusting so my guess is it pulls till it gets to a certain pressure and then it quits.

Good luck with that oil leak. I had an oil leak of undetermined origin. I did the Lamonster catch can thing and that did not seem to help. Then I got to tracking it down and could never really isolate it.

Soooo I took it to my dealer who is very good. Out came the engine for a new gasket set-all of them. Along the way they found that the output shaft and pulley were worn and needed replacement. Then they broke a ring putting the engine back together. So it will be either five or six weeks on Monday and we are waiting for the ring to arrive next Friday. I am having withdrawal.

On the upside I had them put new tires on it all the way around, fix a very slight front end alignment issue, and replace the rear wheel bearings with some Japanese ones.

If and when I get it back, it should be good to go a few more miles.

I know exactly what you are going through. :sour: Good thing I like the dang Spyder so much.
