I don't suppose you're interested in selling it. I've got a 202 with all the fruit (roller rockers, Starfire rods and forged pistons) built by...
The Jack Wilkinson speedway head has larger combustion chambers than the Yella Terra. The first time I ran the Wilkinson head with the 1 1/4s it...
Damn ugly they were but won a few rallies in Australia and their engines powered a lot of Grey Fergie tractors.
We used to apply the 3M dripchek and then depending where it was, just smooth out the edge with your finger. When I say 'depending where it is'...
Or you do it this way. Could be interesting on the street. [MEDIA]
Where is that car now? I use 1 3/4" on the grey now but my spare engine ran better times with the 1 1/4". The 1 1/4" have longer ram tubes and...
Interesting perception. Can't say I've noticed it down here.
Individual runners with an equalising tube between would be better and not hard to fabricate. They can be a bit tricky to tune for the street but...
In Australia we had 1960-1962 Holden FB - EK. They had those 'knee knockers' as well. Harv would know all about them.
I was the same. It was an eye opener even back then (2012). The main reason we went was a mate of mine, Stewie "Soup" Campbell's son is in the...
In 2012 my wife and I did the North Island using a hire car including Napier (art deco buildings) Whangamata (pronounced Fangamata if I remember...
If the primer is still good after 10 years I'm with Lloyd. Sand it and start spraying.
Crikey, I don't think I've had a 'screwdriver' since we used to go to the clubs (17 year old) and I'm now 67. Alot of Southern Comfort has passed...
Now you've done it! We'll have 3 pages of what size fan blade he should have on it
Beautiful scenery on that section. I must admit I'm not a Cobra fan but if I was out in front on those twisty bits you wouldn't see me for dust....
Carry on and get it done. Can't wait for the first run video.
I brazed the exhaust elbow on my Grey Fergie tractor. It was broken off at the flange. Preheated, brazed using cast iron flux and post cool down...
That powdery stuff could hopefully be break-in compound that's come off the cam and lifters. If compression is good it may count out fuel washing...
Ask them how much they'd get off the crusher. Anything above that for them is proffit.
To get more compression from this engine would require 2 things. First would be domed pistons because the head has been shaved several times...
A couple of years ago I went to Warwick dragway in Queensland for the Six Banger Nats. Unfortunately the bloke who was the driving force behind...
I've posted this information before regarding octane rating so ignore it if it sends you into la-la land. My avatar has a 1950's engine in it....
We have CLR in Australia as well. You should be able to get it in the UK or an equivalent product.
Very nifty way of storing them. I can't understand why people throw them out. I've been using 2 that I picked up from kerbside rubbish 30 years ago.
A few years ago I did the repairs on a mate's FJ panelvan and then he handed it over to a 'professional 'spray painter who then sprayed it all...
Looks like old man toenail clippers.
One of the local blokes has raced these for quite a few years in the unlimited class. He took me for a 'sedate' spin around the local lake to do...
Probably a bit late to help but when I had an FJ panelvan a few years back, the driver's door always sat out at the bottom like 75% of the...
I hate the smell of gear oil or diesel on my hands so I give them a quick wash with lacquer thinner and then soap and water. Gets rid of the pong.
But they'll tell you they stopped the leak. Job done. I hope they let the pidgeon, sorry, welder, go home.
Separate names with a comma.
