Agreed, sounds like the M/C pushrod adjustment. I've experienced this when trying to get as much slop out of the system as possible. ...   07-31-2019 02:35 pm

I may get it, or the one from the club store, just because they look so freakin’ cool — but then again, you can’t see ...   07-27-2019 01:50 pm

Thanks, Tim -- from what I've seen from online images, it looks like the same part, or very similar - 1 and 4 joined and ...   07-25-2019 03:04 pm

I think I understand that only later JH engines ended up with cast iron exhaust manifolds.  Somehow 10628, a Mk1 from 1972, has a cast ...   07-24-2019 03:23 pm

About $500 for the vinyl, against $900 for leather as listed on eBay (not including the cushion etc.). Depends on the exchange rate, of course. ...   07-19-2019 02:37 am

FWIW, I just went with regen but in vinyl -- thought seriously about leather, but couldn't justify the price difference.  Vinyl was $600 for two ...   07-18-2019 03:09 pm

Not likely it could end up inside the vehicle given it would have to get past the booster diaphragm.  Another possibility is a wheel cylinder ...   06-26-2019 06:43 pm

Feel under the MC/booster joint, it will be damp if there's a leak, and/or the paint on the inner fender will be eaten away.  It ...   06-26-2019 04:12 pm

Weird... well, one groove looks a bit different than the other two now that I look more closely, so I’m betting it started life as ...   06-21-2019 02:56 pm

Looks beautiful! Keep the updates coming! ...   05-21-2019 04:21 pm

Excellent, thanks. I do have the ARP head studs - -10.5:1 CR (final, after the thicker gasket). Stripped a couple of carrier/head threaded ...   05-21-2019 04:19 pm

Many thanks, guys. Strictly out of curiosity, any data, anecdotal or otherwise, on what running clearances open up to once up to operating temp? ...   05-21-2019 03:25 pm

Maybe the ballast resistor? Drops the voltage to 9? 10? Volts after start. On my MK1, it’s mounted to the firewall near the ...   05-19-2019 08:41 pm

Finally back to my 2.2L build after detour into Audis for a few years... Just realized that different sources have different main bearing clearance specs. ...   05-19-2019 08:09 pm

Looks like its going to be a great build! Please do keep us posted. I, for one, need a little motivation once in ...   09-01-2014 04:45 pm

There's a decent picture here: http://www.jensenhealey.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=1500&forum_id=15&page=2 Doesn't do the interference total justice, but gives an idea at least. ...   01-22-2014 10:51 pm

Would that it were that simple. The stud can be removed no problem, but the steel spindle is a press fit into the aluminum ...   01-22-2014 04:32 am

I cobbled together a small-ish two-jaw puller with standoffs under the ears to bear against the inner bearing.  To keep the outer cover in place ...   01-21-2014 07:22 pm

For piece of mind, you can grease the seal, push the cover/seal into position, then remove. The grease will leave a smear on the ...   01-21-2014 06:46 pm

Heh, removing the front cover doesn't make bearing removal much easier... The tensioner needs to be rotated to give as much clearance between the timing pointer ...   01-21-2014 06:42 pm

I remember reading a road test where the tester complained about the pedal spacing as well. Mine is an early '73 and I had ...   01-02-2014 03:43 pm

Looks terrific! A lot of progress you've made. ...   10-11-2013 09:47 pm

In some cases the pad on the underside of the bucket may contact the valve stem, allowing you to take the measurement with no shims.  ...   09-03-2013 10:21 pm
