Re: 1962 Daimler SP250 - Oregon, USA
I do notice a couple of things non-standard. The first the change in distributor cap -- looks like GM with coil but appears to have original drive for tachometer. HEI cap and coil are cheap in USA, fitment is very interesting. The second is the trafficator switch installed upside down(?) with and Au...

Re: Push rod difference
Kent, Thanks for the feedback. I went back and took a look and all sets are either thick or thin at both ends however what I did not realize was the outer diameter on the "small" ones is .040" less in outside diameter. It may prove to be poor oil changes or poor oil but it seems too c...

Push rod difference
In the process of replacing the heads on my original engine, I notice a couple of them were damaged at the ball cup. I went into my spares and came across an issue I thought I'd seek input on. The push rods both inlet and exhaust have different thickness "cups" on each set. One set has .03...

Re: Siezed engine STILL.!
Has anyone used Hylomar M Blue an aerosol spray on product for head gasket sealing?
I'm in the act of reassembling my spare engine with reconditioned heads and I do have the older product in a tube but question if a more even coating could be accomplished.

Re: Brake upgrade
In your quest for front brake upgrade I don't know if you found the article or converting to 4 piston Toyota calipers and rotors. Its a modification done to Triumph cars, I believe TR2 - TR6, but mainly TR4-TR6. I have done it on my Dart but although its inexpensive in the USA about $150 I don't rec...
