Capsule didn't working, but I didn't expect so low grade materials inside. Capsule drilled before to open, to have possibility to assemble with bolts, after change of the membrane.
Selected silicone rubber for membrane, working from -60 to +250 degrees Celsius, NBR was -20 to +80 Celsius. I hope, lower resistance to oil is not a problem - will see.
and result:
A bit ugly, but working Tomorrow will replace "idiot oil switch" and fire the Big Cat again. Spark plugs changed this evening - very strange, there was gap more than 1.5 mm. I think that in the US car repair should be OK, not like in Bulgaria - anyone can do (can lie about) anything. Curious how this engine even starts.
Body under the capstan was mounted with only 2 front bolts. Rear bolts are not in convenient place - I suppose, somebody "optimised" mounting. But in this case body is not well mounted. I added bracket, to give 3-th supporting point
Decided to repair vacuum capsule
