Re: Another engine disaster

Having stripped the engine further they have found that the valves are gummed tight so that would explain why it was difficult to turn over. The inlet manifold has been crack tested and is good so no explanation as to how the water got in either. I don’t believe in coincidences so I am looking for o...

Another engine disaster

After nearly two years of waiting for my engine to be rebuilt it was finally collected from a reputable company and fitted by my local garage of choice. They seemed impressed by the engine which easily started and allowed them to run it for about 30 minutes. After this time it became difficult to tu...

Re: Help -V8 spares!!

Hi
I am not sure what happened to my visibility of the original post. I think the main item I need is the central post with the two bolt holes, part number 17. I have the spring and I think I have ordered the parts 15 and 16 from DMG but they haven’t arrived yet.

Gearbox and breather

I’m not sure what has happened to my post regarding my appeal for a rear mounting for an auto box on my 1964 V8 and rocker cover breather pipe. It seems to have disappeared so hopefully this replaces it. If it reappears then I apologise goof the duplication.

Help -V8 spares!!

I am hoping someone has some spare parts on a dusty shelf!! I need a rear auto gearbox mount assembly, I have the spring but nothing else. I also need a copper elbow pipe that connects the rocker cover to the single air filter- I have one but not the other. Both of the above have long since disappea...

Re: HELP major engine problem

Ok, position now is that I have booked the engine removal for Oct 1st and I will deliver it to Bracknell the following week. I’m taking it in person so that I can take care of it’s transportation and also see for myself the place and people involved.
