Ok, so I chickened out today and replaced the t-belt tensioner. My original intention was to keep running the old one (with the new belt) as I didn't find anything wrong with it. However, I since discovered that it most likely is VERY old. So... a new one went on. Also, I replaced a leaky oil pressure switch (for the warning light). It had started leaking oil through the housing. A bit tight at the back of the engine, but the old came out and a new one went in.
I also ordered the Autopower roll cage for Roxanne today. I went with the 1.5" sizing since the car should come in under 2700 lbs, anything above that requires 1.75" according to the rules of AROSC. According to Don it is 3000 lbs for SCCA... I also ordered the window net and seat back support.
Now to a few questions:
1. Does the milano overflow bottle setup require a catch tank as specified in the AROSC rules for Race group? I don't think so, but I want to make sure I am not missing something.
2. Does the oil breather setup of the milano require a catch tank? Again, I don't think so as the oil vapors are passed to the intake, and re-circulated.
