That's what I keep telling my wife! That spacious area in the back is so practical and I've heard that dogs love it. ...   01-03-2012 10:12 pm

I still need to find the time and get that fixed, hopefully soon. ...   12-21-2011 05:37 pm

I'd guess it's the cable also. They work great when they are new, but only last so many years. In my experience, it's pretty much ...   12-12-2011 03:44 pm

As you have most likely noticed, we've just completed an upgrade for the JHPS message board. This new upgrade does have a lot more features ...   12-07-2011 04:58 pm

Wouldn't we all like to know! I was very careful about fixing everything when I restored my car, remanufactured tank, new seals all around, basically ...   10-21-2011 04:52 pm

It's quite normal to use press on bearings in this situation. You can easily do this with a bench vise in your garage and a ...   10-17-2011 07:19 pm

The original brake lines from the factory will seem tight at a full lock, it looks ugly, but it's functional I suppose. Your steering system ...   10-12-2011 03:36 pm

Wow, the car looks fantastic! I like the back end, very clean. ...   09-10-2011 12:09 am

Wow, great old photos and awesome JH racing video on your site! That was fun to watch, thanks for posting. I've owned Rovers for decades, ...   08-27-2011 04:35 pm

On the other end of the scale (and a plug for things made in the USA): California Car Cover makes a great custom cover ...   08-09-2011 03:33 pm

A mechanic friend told me recently that Red Line Synthetic CV-2 Grease is the thing these days. Will not dry out over long periods like ...   07-27-2011 11:44 pm

I don't think there is a way to do that. The board software is robust, but not very feature laden. ...   07-21-2011 09:17 pm

Yes, you will need to do some machine work to do a proper upgrade on a Jensen Healey head. The larger intake and exhaust valves ...   07-01-2011 07:24 pm

The bleed hole may not be a big deal. It's great to put it in if that is not present when you are doing a ...   06-23-2011 05:16 pm

Contamination in the oil relief spring (inside the auxiliary housing) can create a no-oil pressure situation. A very small piece of stray silicon sealer is ...   06-21-2011 08:27 pm

It shouldn't leak, some people can get it to work with DOT 5 and have no problems, but putting in the fluid recommended by the ...   05-29-2011 03:28 pm

These Lucas units have old school rubber based seals inside and are designed to use mineral based fluids. I don't recommend the use of synthetic ...   05-28-2011 02:00 pm

Just my 2 cents and based on my specific experience- rebuilding, reboring, resleeving (in brass, stainless, it doesn't seem to matter) or or whatever else ...   05-25-2011 05:45 pm

Cold air is always optimal, but I don't think it make any difference in this case since the engine was out of the car. As ...   01-06-2011 11:36 pm

The engine should be warm, otherwise you'll most likely get inaccurate readings. If the engine is cold, you can still check for a dead cylinder, ...   01-06-2011 08:08 pm

No, I don't see Richard putting Strombergs on anything. ...   01-05-2011 10:17 pm

I saw Richard Reyman at West Coast Cylinder Heads not long ago and he had an interesting story about that goofy looking factory air box ...   01-05-2011 09:55 pm

This problem has nothing to do with altitude. Black, wet plugs do not bode well. That indicates that fuel is not being burned in the ...   01-05-2011 09:40 pm

This is another case of you-get-what-you-pay-for. The carpet on the dash, is well, it looks like carpet on the dash. I guess it's better than ...   12-30-2010 06:36 pm

Hmm, that just reminded me, I think I remember a mechanic friend telling me you need to soak the rope seal in oil for a ...   12-08-2010 11:33 pm

The sump is just a little lame on the 907 and indeed, as you have noticed, the baffles will tend to hinder oil movement more ...   11-08-2010 10:35 pm

In my experience, Lotus is very inexact when it comes to the pulleys on their water pumps. The later Lotus pumps that have the weirdo, ...   11-02-2010 09:03 pm

That's typical of a worn 907 engine. High wear areas that can cause that are the inner and outer rotors in the oil pump and ...   11-02-2010 08:51 pm

Thanks very much for the comments everyone! I've been buried in work this week and didn't notice this thread until just now. That last 20 ...   10-28-2010 03:40 pm

You will experience better drivability with Dellortos for a street Jensen Healey, I'd only use Webers on a track car myself. Ok, Pete, I do ...   10-12-2010 11:02 pm

Just an FYI, K&D (interceptor.org) is selling the correct Jensen side marker assemblies with the correct taper unique to the Jensen. These are the same ...   10-12-2010 10:47 pm

5/16 inch is the correct size. The German braided is only sold in 7mm metric sizes that I know of and it doesn't really fit, ...   10-12-2010 10:27 pm

We need a head count for our event this Saturday, September 25, 2010- for the JHPS End of Summer Party & Glorious Parts Swap Meet ...   09-23-2010 06:20 pm

You'll need to fabricate some custom rigid tubes and adaptors from the caliper to the flex hose as well as some anti rattle clips to ...   09-08-2010 04:01 am

This caliper is a bolt on with a spacing washers and minor mods (it's the one I was selling on the club store a while ...   09-08-2010 12:02 am

Did you end up with the 104/107 cams? The 104/107 combo is great under the right circumstances, but you really do need a head that ...   08-24-2010 06:45 pm

Brilliant, thanks Jody! ...   08-11-2010 06:50 pm

There was an interesting tidbit in the newsletter a while ago- The cure is simple- you need to procure (2) 400V 3A diodes and place them ...   08-11-2010 06:45 pm

Yes, that's a smart idea. The usefulness of increasing the gap will vary depending on what type of coil you are running, if using a ...   08-04-2010 04:21 pm

1970's British engineering is astonishing. I once had an old Rover that had inboard rear disc brakes (above and in front of a DeDion rear ...   07-29-2010 09:19 pm
