You have upped our game, @audiomick.

Jus' sayin', y'all . . .

Well, once "betting" enters the equation, all matters of "sport" are off . . .

That. There have so many attempts to define "THAT." Somehow, "fun" just does not entirely translate the fullness of the experience. "Welcome home, dear! Did you experience that surreal , uplifting, transcendental, existential experience on your ride ? " "Why, yes, darling, the ride was fun . . ." "Did you cheat death with your awareness and skillset, mastering the physical realm with intensity and purpose ?" "Yes, yes. Quite fun, actually."

Very interesting. So many times returning from a ride, I have been asked if I "had fun." I never know what to say. I don't ride for "fun."

Beautiful, @Bingbong! Thank you for your terrific reply and photo of your Coppa Italia in its natural habitat! @LaGrasta is in good hands. @JBastida stops in with us from near Madrid from time to time. Perhaps he will se this notification and chime in . . .

Rather than the TPS (on the right side throttle body, which cannot leak oil), do you mean the cam/timing/phase sensor on the left, ahead of the cylinder, @Randy?

@Drahchir, if the leak is on the left a common source is the crank position sensor. This is the sensor in front of the cylinder with the two hex drive fasteners. Sometimes, just snugging up the fasteners is enough to address the leak. Otherwise, it uses a small Viton O-ring (#112 SAE or metric equivalent). Be mindful of the thin spacer as it indexes the cam timing. These sensors might also leak through the wiring leading me to coat mine in JB Weld epoxy many years ago.

Yeah, my man, let's start a new thread for you in Technical Topics and get to the bottom of your issue Is the leak on the right or left?

I do not remember her from the sixties. Of course, I turned ten years old in 1967 and was only just beginning to get interested in these "sorts of things."

This one?

It occurred to me to point out there are two angle drive, the other being attached to the speedometer end. It is usually not the trouble that the gearbox one is, but is worth inspecting.

My Speedhut are at 31,380 miles, 7 1/2 years, and have outlasted all of my efforts to keep three Veglia speedos (and numerous angle drives) in the game . . .

May I frame the question this way: How is "manifold pressure" different than "intake vacuum?"

So, the metal disc had dislodged causing the gears to mis-mesh?

@Bingbong and his Coppa Italia are on the Portuguese coast . . .

Aaaahhh: Stilettos!

Magnifique! Notable how the motorcycles overtake, and move opposite the convoy. Using sirens! I want one!

So, an early 1999-2000 production judging by the finned, steel exhaust header flanges. This run also suffered from the red stillettos fading to pink. Some P.O. likely stripped them to the bare alumin(i)m . . .

Welcome back, @Drahchir! I moved the image of your lovely LeMans for all to see!

"Carajillo !" What a concept! https://vinepair.com/cocktail-recipe/carajillo/

Officially "3 mos. before this event ", now. Get Uranus in gear, @gstallons . . . I need to start addressing my Waddington Effect.
