I've had a similar problem in the past.  Rebuild the MC first.  I'm certain that's your problem, as you don't have leakage at the wheels. YELODOG ...   01-14-2011 02:26 am

Here's A photo of the front left bottom of engine. Send an email to peteb01@comcast.net, and I'll send you a couple more. What's a Z-bar?  What's a bell crank? YELODOG ...   01-14-2011 02:22 am

Hey Pete, Not sure what the RHD cars have as Damper location - should be same as LHD. I've re-checked my design calculations and measurements from 6 years ...   01-07-2011 02:54 am

First, you have to be certain that the console is secured to the sheetmetal of The rear shelf.  There is a small metal tab at ...   01-05-2011 04:29 am

Mitch, The parts that I purchased for YELODOG are: SB3824 for the Rear SB3824L for the Front. Pete ...   12-18-2010 02:57 am

I assume that the battery was good the last time you started the engine, and you removed it to charge it for some reason. Perhaps there is ...   11-12-2010 12:22 am

Of course, the ultimate solution to long oil pressure build up time is to install an Accusump oiler system.  You develop full oil pressure BEFORE ...   11-11-2010 01:33 am

Correct, the Accusump is not for the street primarily because the JH oil pressures has so great a difference between cold, hot, hi rpm and ...   11-05-2010 01:38 pm

The Accusump is a wonderful invention.  I have a 3 qt unit on YELODOG, and never had loss of oil pressure on the track. Pete ...   11-05-2010 04:04 am

Kurt, I was confused (nothing new there) about your reference to "99852 as the leather(?) gearshift boot on the mk2 cars. It is shown on Delta's website." Turns out that ...   10-19-2010 01:29 am

Hi Cliff, I have the last of my inventory posted on eBay, and another JH owner also wanting one.  I need to spend a few hours on ...   10-15-2010 02:28 pm

I'm going to avoid rebuilding engines in the future, as I have avoided that task in the past.  Nice price for a nice tool. Pete ...   10-13-2010 04:24 am

Wonder of wonders - after about five years, I finally performed some preventative maintenance on YELODOG: Carb balance was still quite correct.  Used my new German ...   10-13-2010 12:58 am

Kurt:  Can't fine 99852 in the parts manual.  Also, rubber gaiter not shown for post 13350 chassis, but my Gaiter fits nicely.  See attachment. My ...   10-06-2010 05:36 pm

Hose is E&M Products # 22188.  Fits AMC & Chrysler.  3 9/16 dia. Pete ...   10-06-2010 02:45 pm

I got my Airbox from PNM Engineering in England http://www.pnmengineering.com/index.html  many years ago.  It's made from two different Lotus model boxes, and they added the clilps ...   10-06-2010 03:18 am

Hi John, How did you know that I've been working on it?  Actually just purchased a few hardware items - one to replace the plastic clips ...   10-05-2010 07:30 pm

I didn't purchase the items - they were included on the engine when I had it made for me. Not certain about lube for torquing - ...   10-04-2010 02:46 pm

I have a higher pressure plate and a racing disk - no problems. If your clutch has oil on it, I would suspect that there would ...   10-04-2010 04:25 am

Yeah, I've heard that Gear Rings have an occasional problem, but I've never had the problem personally. Bring a mechanic........... Pete ...   10-04-2010 04:18 am

Speed Bleeder is the best invention since sliced bread.............. YELODOG ...   10-04-2010 03:48 am

I can confirm that the thickness that Art presents are accurate. The key to haveing the rotors machined is to go to a shop that knows ...   10-04-2010 03:44 am

Hi Mark, I was just going over some very old posts on JHPS Forum and saw this one from you about a pattern for “Gear Boot Gaiter”.  Not ...   10-04-2010 03:04 am

Hi John, What did the rubber shop in Ohio have to say about the rubber sidelight bases? Just another caution:  I was encouraged by one of the ...   10-04-2010 02:46 am

Best to bring a person that knows about "old" cars. The Webers with those air cleaners will make so much induction noise that you'll never know ...   10-04-2010 02:04 am

Hi guys, I have 45's on YELODOG, but the engine is tricked out a bit.  Weber setup is below.  Don't know if these settings would work ...   10-02-2010 04:21 pm

Hi John, Thanks for the offer but the raw damper I use is different from the OEM item.  Check the details of the design at: http://jhppg.com/pk0104.htm and you'll see ...   10-01-2010 03:17 pm

Let's make that two Kits available. There was a real rush on these items early this year and I had difficulty finding the raw dampers........ YELODOG ...   10-01-2010 04:05 am

Hi Jeff, Of course good ol' Kenny knows that the Pivot Ball shaft length is different between the 4spd and 5 spd Bell Housing assemblies.  Perhaps ...   10-01-2010 04:00 am

Colin, So, what's your spark advance at 5000 rpm? YELODOG ...   10-01-2010 03:52 am

Y'all know, of course, that the really light flywheels will make for a rough idle engine. Great for racing though.... YELODOG ...   10-01-2010 03:43 am

Mitch, Since you are in one of the warmer states in USA, I suggest that you get a larger oil cooler (18 row instead of he ...   10-01-2010 03:40 am

Hi Guys, Don't know if Dan has an internal problem or a problem with the Shifter mechanism, which is a really bad design.  I fixed mine and ...   10-01-2010 03:37 am

You can pull the bellhousing off and get to the rear of the engine - problem is that you will have to jury rig a ...   05-09-2010 01:27 am

Hi Colin, Just spending some spare time going over old posts, and spotted yours. You may or not know that I went through the process of designing ...   03-29-2010 09:58 pm

Joachim, Yes, access to the manifold bolts is much easier if you jack up the front of the engine...... YELODOG ...   03-27-2010 01:08 am

Joachim, I'm taking a close look at your new engine and note that it seems to have the old standard square cambelt sprocket grooves.  In my ...   03-23-2010 12:10 am

You're doing great work.  Thanks for the updates. Pete ...   04-14-2009 01:29 am

Dale, You could give them a phone call and perhaps they can identify the correct screw from the car make/model. Or, pull one from the TR-7 and ...   02-09-2009 07:13 pm

Hi Jay, I'm sure that there are many places to purchase them, but I ordered directly from the manufacturer.  They are about $7 each - well worth ...   02-06-2009 03:06 pm
