Ahh, misunderstood you, didn't realize it was RBF you mixed in. Thought it was just regular dot 4 fluid.

I think the only thing I'd say is maybe don't mix the endless fluid with regular dot 4. You want to keep that high boiling point as your brakes will get very hot. Regular dot 4 is not good enough....

Car got dyno'd today, fell a little short of the 600 mark but the torque numbers were good. With tons of piston to valve clearance and a relatively mild cam, the opportunity is there to really add...

I'd say the best approach might be to clean it all really well and then let it run, see where it drips from. Oil can get blown all around and makes it hard to find the source.

Yes, oil stays in the cooler, coolant runs through those pipes into the cooler. The oil pans are known to leak, check the tightness of the bolts maybe, that's where mine leaked.

Definitely interested to hear about this. I've stripped out quite a bit but have yet to have the courage to go that far. I'd love to find another hundred pounds.
