HI Mal The coil spring, inside any oil seal all ways face the oil, so if you can see the spring, that faces towards the diff, not easy to tell from your picture. As for removing the front flange on any diff just to change the seal, you should centre pot/mark the nut to the pinion, so as to fit it ba...

Hi The first few years i remember better than the last, so some dates are best guesses. 1979. 1976 Yamaha FS1E 1980. 1966 Lamberetta LI 150 with 225 wild cat conversion, I pushed this home more often than riding it. 1980. Yamaha RD 250 with 350 barrels and L plates. 1980. Ford Corsair 2000e. I wrote...

Hi Paul Yes you can use the hi po head's, but i feel what you gain with the larger valve's, you loose, because of the loss of compresion, due to the larger combustion chamber volume of the hi po head's. I went down a different route and had the larger valves fitted into my 260 head's, keeping the co...

when you get your lucas oil all so get a couple of bottles of lucas lead replacer, one bottle treats 450 lt of fuel. check out/google lucas oil products uk ltd. Or take your heads off and replace valve seats at about £200.00 a head, a bottle of lead replacer is cheaper.

Hi Martin Toyo proxes, in my opinion are about the best value sports tyre you can get. As for oil, do not use synthetic oils in the engine, Lucas 20/50plus racing oil is very good. Gear box and axle most 90/80 g/oils are ok. I tried water weter and all i got was a header tank full of sludge, not rec...

Hi
is there going to be a club stand at Cranleigh classic car show this sunday?

Hi Mal

What block are you using? if it's a 260 the heads won't work, to large a combustion chamber & wrong rockers to name a few of the prob's. The head's you have are for the roller cam 5.0l 302. Hope that some help, or maybe not, good luck.

Hi
Are there any plan's for a run/meet down south, next sunday 25th ?

Hi, Distilled water is better, less corosive. As for water wetter, I tried it and all I got was a header tank full of sludge, and had to flush the whole system. If you don't want your rad to block, it's best to flush out once a year any way. allso an engine runs cooler with no anti freeze, but not g...

Hi,
A friend asked me the other day, how many Tiger's are still in existence? and i had to say, I have no idea. I put a guess on about half the amount built, which is high for any car made in the sixties. Can any one put a proper figure on it?

Hi To put it very simply, the two large terminal's go straight to battery, the small one to ignition light. You can use the wire you have from voltage reg, but best to make up new. Get youself an allternator wiring repair block,[very cheap] and correct size wire, make up two lengh's of the larger wi...

So how do i get images, from folder to here ???????

Hi you can use the 90 degree adaptor with header's, as i have done, it only works on right hand drive cars and you have to point the filter forward's and not down as you would without header's. To get the adaptor to fit behind header, you have to get 3mm machined off the height + a new grove for the...

Hi I think it's important you guy's & girls, look at increasing your agreed value's. I am with Allianz, [5000miles a year garaged] and have just got them to increase from £16000 agreed value to £30,000. premium rose from £140.00 to £195.00. I backed up the value, with a few photo's [my car does look...
