Thanks Colin, that's very helpful! Those plastic hinges are able to snap out? ...   01-30-2007 03:55 pm

I'm trying to get my dashboard back in the car, but before it actually goes in, I need to figure out how the bulkhead vents ...   01-29-2007 05:44 pm

It looks as though you've circled the distributor, those don't usually chirp though. Maybe the rotor is hitting the contacts inside? I've seen some after ...   01-25-2007 12:02 am

If you have a very early 907 engine in your JH, then you might want to swap out the cam towers with later ones. Very ...   01-24-2007 09:13 pm

I'd stick with Castrol 20W 50 myself. Castrol 20W 50 has the stuff older engines need to stay operational. Besides, the rubber seals on the ...   01-23-2007 06:04 pm

I'd put the old starter back in and see how that goes. You made it sound like nothing was wrong with it. I'm not a ...   01-18-2007 04:15 pm

It's looks about right to me, but I don't have an old flywheel nearby to confirm either. You didn't say what the problem was, so ...   01-17-2007 09:17 pm

Why would you use the paper gaskets? The gasket was a design flaw from the start. There was Lotus Service Bulletin way back when that ...   01-05-2007 08:18 pm

The Jensen Healey Parts Catalogue should have a schematic of the various bits. Any linkage that fits the JH is tough to find, but you ...   01-03-2007 04:05 pm

To clarify just a bit, the 907 will NOT overheat if the engine is within spec and has a radiator capacity appropriate to the area ...   12-29-2006 04:09 pm

I have no doubt that the doweling is helpful, I just think it's more than most of us need. I have my 2.2 project waiting ...   12-28-2006 09:03 pm

I had Konis on my JH for years and always thought they were too stiff for a road car, so I suppose it depends what ...   12-20-2006 04:06 pm

Acceptable is certainly a word subject to interpetation. The mid to early '70's were heady times at Lotus and Jensen Motors. Both companies did a ...   12-15-2006 04:40 pm

Yes, this will be a cool car when done. If it's a fast road car, I don't think adding a support plate to the block ...   12-13-2006 10:45 pm

I always assume the worst on my car. I added a very thin coating of Wellseal (Hylomar would work well also) around the outside to ...   12-06-2006 06:49 pm

I'm rather skeptical of those prices. Not sure what the current cost in the U.S. is for Minilites, but I can guarantee it's considerably more. ...   11-21-2006 04:03 pm

This company has been remaking the original Minilite wheels for years. The problem isn't that they are not available, it's how much they cost. Panasport ...   11-17-2006 04:09 pm

That's already ancient technology. What I'm waiting for is the first Hydrogen Fuel Cell Jensen Healey! ...   11-16-2006 11:21 pm

Kurt is quite right, the MG distributor looks like it fits, but the advance weights and springs are unique for the Lotus/Jensen Healey application. If ...   11-15-2006 04:07 pm

Data should include 5 digit VIN, condition, engine number, and location. Also list any parts cars and spare engine numbers. Example: JH 13148, good running condition, engine ...   11-13-2006 08:29 pm

It's most likely leaking past the seals in the master. You don't need fluid pouring out to have a bad seal, it often starts out ...   11-10-2006 07:53 pm

A business of any kind operates on economy of scale and there isn't much demand for a 7 pound aluminum flywheel on the 907 engine ...   11-09-2006 08:42 pm

I know- it's that way because of the formula I use for shipping, otherwise the shipping cost is much more than it should be. It's ...   11-08-2006 08:56 pm

The Club Store has been selling custom made, 7 pound aluminum flywheels for some time http://www.jhps.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=jhps&Product_Code=AFW&Category_Code=ET They are not cheap, but they have a ring gear ...   11-08-2006 04:18 pm

That was one cool feature about the light flywheel- if I'd jump on the throttle at 50-60mph, it would fly up to 90mph in a ...   11-06-2006 04:27 pm

Ron, all I can tell is what I personally experienced and that is that I had an aluminum Tilton 7 pound flywheel on my Jensen ...   11-06-2006 04:01 pm

Strange as it seems, the anchor bar should have some bends it it in order for the top to sit correctly. I once spend 30 ...   11-03-2006 07:50 pm

As long as the flywheel and all moving parts in the engine front to back have been precision balanced, the idle will be silky smooth. ...   11-03-2006 03:56 pm

Stop with the "poor quality" already! When you look at the garbage being produced world wide at that time by major auto makers, it's a ...   10-18-2006 06:02 pm

If you want a canvas top that fits your Jensen Healey you need to purchase it from a company that sells a quality product. In ...   10-02-2006 04:19 pm

This should be easy to fix- all you need is activated charcoal and some filter and screen material to fix up that canister (the club ...   09-27-2006 06:58 pm

Clearly brake problems can have many sources and definitely worth the time to check that pesky push rod as I've had trouble with that before ...   09-24-2006 05:56 pm

Dellortos might make the car run cleaner, but you'd fail the visual test based soley on that. The CA smog database is quite extensive from ...   09-18-2006 10:43 pm

The seller is obviously not a REAL Jensen owner or they would take wine or other JH parts in trade! ...   09-08-2006 04:09 pm

Here's another FREE J-H I just heard about. Could be a cool find for the right person. 1974 jensen healey - poor condition - for ...   09-06-2006 04:38 pm

Good condition originals are hard to find, you might need to consider getting the old dash recovered from a place like justdashes.com (figure $800). The ...   09-05-2006 04:21 pm

Kurt makes a good point that you do need to consider some extra time and money when switching cams. I installed a set of 107's ...   09-01-2006 04:18 pm

You'll probably want to spend some time soaking those carb bodies once you have them apart. A sonic cleaning is best, but you can get ...   08-21-2006 04:50 pm

I think you'll need to go the full custom route on those. Lotus pistons from JE and CP (or any manufacturer) need to be made ...   08-11-2006 05:31 pm

Wiper motors are not too common. The Club Store had new ones, but those might be gone now. I'd check into getting an electrical shop ...   08-09-2006 05:10 pm
