Yes, overcharging is bad, replace before it's too late. If your battery is old it can make it burst- it happened on my car years ...   07-21-2010 10:40 pm

Too much runout will create wheel wobble and pulsing during braking- that .004 sounds pretty high. I would think below .002 would be a better ...   06-28-2010 04:34 pm

Last I heard, the Konis are NLA. Their site lists no application for the JH, did I miss something? ...   06-25-2010 02:39 am

Yes, the club store has the Bilstein shocks, those are rewelded and damped to the correct specs to fit the JH, Bilstein does not make ...   06-22-2010 06:04 pm

Lash is right. The rotors are very thin to start with, it's not recommended by the manufacturer to turn them. However, like many thrifty JH ...   06-15-2010 10:27 pm

Just a suggestion to ALL event planners. For me, as a clueless Jensen owner looking at this for the first time, it would be very, ...   06-03-2010 04:21 pm

I don't recommend the braided fuel lines and AN fittings, I've seen and heard of a lot or fires and close calls on the 907 ...   06-02-2010 06:16 pm

You can talk about engine transplants all you want, I can't imagine it's a big deal to most people. As this group is called the ...   05-24-2010 10:27 pm

If installing a new header, I've found it helpful to cut off the old one with a sawsall as close as possible to the head. ...   05-13-2010 05:41 pm

The seals that are available these days for the 907 are not very precise. I also ruined a rear main seal on the last engine ...   05-12-2010 06:11 pm

I guess you are talking about additional mats that you put on top of the carpet? The kit I installed in my JH has a ...   05-10-2010 11:49 pm

The exhaust system that Delta sells is normally not a simple install, part of the problem is the non-standard nature of the Jensen Healey. With ...   05-04-2010 11:38 pm

The jet orifice dimension is very specific. As the metering needle is biased, it will wear the orifice into an oval shape over the years ...   05-04-2010 11:22 pm

Well, at least Martin Robey has them (although they are more than that). Unfortunately, finding cash to invest in a project that won't pay off ...   04-21-2010 10:08 pm

It's not cheap to get a top installed by a reputable professional these days, but that sounds a little on the high side. I know ...   04-19-2010 08:28 pm

The Jensen Healey would normally use the Stromberg CD175s. I would assume the needle and valve arrangement at the carb float bowl are not sealing ...   04-08-2010 12:12 am

This place is in Van Nuys, California- justdashes.com I've seen their work, it's exceptional, but not cheap. If you can find a good one from a ...   04-02-2010 07:41 pm

Madera Concepts in Goleta, CA is the best, great prices for the quality offered. ...   04-02-2010 12:16 am

I had the entire housing on the bench when I did it, my guess is that it would considerably easier that way, but you may ...   03-25-2010 09:26 pm

That's very hopeful then. What you really must do however is completely remove the spring from the housing and clean it so that it SPOTLESS. ...   03-25-2010 09:02 pm

I'd only use a traditional 20w50 oil in this engine, but I doubt that is the nature of your problem. I would also avoid running ...   03-24-2010 08:48 pm

It probably needs to be replaced. Voltage spikes, voltage too high or too low often indicate that something inside is in need of replacement, the ...   03-16-2010 05:14 pm

Ugh! That's too bad John. Tank Renu is certainly your best option to be sure it never leaks again. They really do have a good ...   02-18-2010 03:39 pm

February 27, Saturday- British Car Meet & Drive to 2 Cool Locations Event. We start at the local Cars and Coffee car meet in Irvine, ...   02-05-2010 04:28 pm

Good going, Kurt! A fine cacophony indeed! ...   01-14-2010 03:55 pm

Jensen Healeys did not have a PVC valve, I think that was added much later onto the MK III versions. A preformed hose from the ...   12-23-2009 06:31 pm

The beauty of British wiring is that the color tells you everything in a nut shell. A white main wire with a slate tracer should ...   11-25-2009 03:43 pm

I missed you guys by a week. We stopped at that shell station right next to the Micky D's and we were wondering what was ...   11-23-2009 08:52 pm

Glad to hear that the STP worked, Frank. I would recommend a high quality anti-seize lube for reassembly of any about any engine part. I ...   11-12-2009 10:47 pm

You might want to go through the distributor again. You need a good ground for starters, that really is essential. It's also easy to reassembly ...   11-06-2009 04:11 pm

Later Lotus flywheels do fit, although no idea up to how far that goes. They look about the same, I doubt they are much lighter. ...   11-05-2009 11:23 pm

Just an FYI, the matched performance version is no longer available and hasn't been for some time. Low demand tends to thin out those kind ...   11-05-2009 11:13 pm

Sounds great, I wish I could have been there. We need more photos! ...   10-12-2009 03:39 pm

On the pinion seal, count the number of threads from the end to the nut before you loosen it (you need to remove the flange ...   10-06-2009 06:05 pm

This turned out to be an exceptional event. I'm already looking forward to next year's concours. I think everyone had a great time. They parked ...   10-05-2009 05:04 pm

I had this problem on my car, the circlip was worn (lost its tension) and allowed the sprocket to walk back and contact the housing. ...   10-05-2009 04:19 pm

Not many Jensens came, but this turned out to be a very fun event. No Jensen left without an award! http://www.jhps.com/photos/Fairbrook2009.jpg ...   10-02-2009 03:54 pm

No idea about those Jahn's pistons except they are a company from the old days, I don't think they are around any more. Might be ...   10-01-2009 10:26 pm

OK, last call for the St. Regis Concours on Sunday (show cars not required). The club has enough Jensen Healeys now to make a class ...   09-30-2009 10:17 pm

Good going Steve! Now we just need one more Jensen. I roped in someone else, but they can only bring a Jaguar and we really ...   09-28-2009 09:32 pm
