LA 11 ROCKER ARMS
Dear All, I am looking to refurbish my rocker shaft assembly. I think it is unlikely, but does anyone have any spare rocker assembly parts, especially rocker arms? Alternatively, does anyone have experience/recommendation concerning an engineering company capable up building up by deposition, then r...

CYLINDER HEAD
Dear All, We have rescued a much unloved cylinder head from being scrapped. By eye and casual measurement it looks exactly the same as my existing LA 11 cylinder head which we have just refurbished. The trouble is that the ident number - 40427 - does not seem to be in the series for the LA 11. Befor...

Re: LA 11 ENGINE SUPRISES!
Dear Simon and AL, Thank you for the feedback. I do not have an original toolkit and didn't realise that such a special tool existed. I am more relaxed about the clips now but the locking wire worries me as some of it is missing and it must have gone through the engine - but there is no obvious dama...

LA 11 ENGINE SUPRISES!
Dear All, In the way of all old cars, for no reason my 1938 LA 11 started to run roughly, run very roughly and then fell silent. Fuel OK, spark OK so out with the compression tester and the problem was localised at No 3 and No 4 cylinders. Off came the cylinder head and, yes, we need to change the h...

Re: LA 11 REAR LEAF SPRINGS
Dear All, I followed the advice to use Jones Springs for the rear leaf springs on my LA 11 and I have to report that they were really very good. I took the springs to the factory and it is a well established organisation, mainly processing large lorry and coach springs but they were really very help...

LA 11 REAR LEAF SPRINGS
After a 3 month period of major work including building a new stainless steel exhaust and water pipes, today was the day for the first test drive. Everything went perfectly, the engine is smooth and quiet, all of the handling is excellent, the brakes feel just right and NO leaks. Just as I was parki...
