I have reek in my life! <3

Too much reek mind. And sky high oil temps. Left it running for ten mins to allow fluids to circulate and the oil light came on. Anyone know what the ph2 with no oil temp/pressure gauge clocks indicate when the oil and stop lights come on? No oil leaks anywhere so levels aren't low, in fact I overfilled it by about half a litre so need to drain some.

Coolant temp gauge barely crept over 75 but oil filter got almost too hot to touch, radiator never got warm either. Checked the pipes and nothings kinked. Had a Pinhole leak from the pipe that goes from lower hose behind engine into the block so replaced that pipe. Quite a lot of reek if you mash the pedal too but not if you slowly increase the revs. Could this be causing the high temps? And could that be what the dash is indicating with the oil light?

Also, could too much advance cause the smoke and high temps? Pump looks almost fully advanced and engine sounds more clattery than it maybe should.

On a more positive note though, brake, pas fluids are in as are gearbox and engine oils. Just need to get it running right and it's ready for MOT, couple of bits need painting too.

FCS here we come!
