If you can undo the motor mounts and jack the motor you can pull the head. But, you must remove the blasted water pump to ...   07-05-2005 08:07 pm

This steel stock tank in the JH is a nightmare. It is heavy, very heavy, and of course for most of us it is rusted ...   07-05-2005 05:11 pm

Frank, I was looking for you and see you are here! I wanted to let you know the JH you sold me last August is coming ...   07-01-2005 12:00 pm

Bill, If you had compression before you did some fiddling, and you've got less now, then it looks like you have a bent valve(s).  The rings ...   07-01-2005 10:29 am

I still have not looked at mine, but I know there is a little lever sticking out of the bottom of my drum if that ...   06-17-2005 02:27 pm

Well, most times it is much better than that, with John Courage, and Heffeweissens being my favorites, but, we had a recent party where lots ...   06-17-2005 02:49 am

I'm going to check mine tonight. Anyone know when the switchover occured?  I hope mine is manual, then I won't have to worry about hooking ...   06-16-2005 12:44 pm

On some rear brake designs the drums require hand brake use to adjust the shoes outward to accomidate for wear. Is the JH 4 speed ...   06-16-2005 01:17 am

Sounds like your switch or wire were underrated. My 8 amp draw is just what I measured on one of my fans, so, if I ...   06-15-2005 02:54 pm

Doesn't sound right to me either.  But, as you know, mounts on the engine go one way and it all "looks" right: *engine stay lines up ...   06-14-2005 03:58 pm

You know, at the current levels we're talking about (8-10 amps) you could use 10 or 12 gauge US wire and wire them straight with ...   06-14-2005 02:42 pm

Judson and Tim, Cams might be open for the little JH. BMW's are pulling a scam in IT right now. Their factory shop manual has no cam ...   06-14-2005 12:19 am

I've a question - how do the transmission mounts differ in 4 and 5 speed cars? Were there different places on the body for the crossmember ...   06-13-2005 10:40 pm

It went through with about the same difficulty as normal - which is to say a huge pain in the butt.  But, it is on, ...   06-13-2005 07:36 pm

Well, over the last 10 days or so Jeff Young and I have done a lot to the JH and it is actually looking like ...   06-13-2005 02:00 pm

Yeah, I know, I'm just saying that it could be my die grinder might have slipped a bit. Don't worry, we've got to get this thing ...   06-12-2005 04:20 pm

I've got a used one that worked fine. I replaced it with one of the gear reduction units you'll find on Ebay for asbout $189.  These ...   06-12-2005 02:38 pm

Wish I had one of the larger instake manifolds, but likely it makes no difference for my application. I enlarged the ports on the intake ...   06-12-2005 01:07 pm

Actually, I think just about any of the later Esprit heads are larger. I remember getting my 907 head off and looking at the ports ...   06-11-2005 08:19 pm

I hope to get some dyno numbers really soon on mine and maybe on Brian's in Apex NC which is a couple miles from me. ...   06-11-2005 12:31 am

I am probably getting ready to fight the cooling system fight myself. I have a four core copper radiator that is the same size as ...   06-09-2005 12:29 pm

Although Judson didn't do my motor for me, I can highly recommend his services. His insight and knowledge were invaluable for helping my do my ...   06-09-2005 11:11 am

Ahhhhh.....the Phantom Slip as we call it over on http://www.gt40s.com.  A few people have tried these with GT40s and a few have tried them in ...   06-01-2005 07:23 pm

Or have them made. Gears are easy to make (depending on your machine shop) and with modern CNC equipment do not require a lot of ...   06-01-2005 12:11 am

Anyone know anything about available LSD's for this rear axle? I know the axle is a Vauxhall part, anyone know what cars it was used ...   05-31-2005 08:18 pm

Fellows, Aren't the cams for intake and exhaust exactly the same? If so, then just pull the intake cam off and put it on the exhaust, and ...   05-24-2005 05:53 pm

I've traded emails with that fellow.  Actually, one of his "Prod JH to be" cars was up for sale.  Not a bad deal either, but ...   05-03-2005 04:46 pm

Having gone through this now a number of times I can second Judson's advice. Find a good shop that does reasonable volume and knows Honda, BMW, ...   05-03-2005 02:00 am

Judson, According to Jeff at JAE and some fellow at Dave Bean, there are 100, 102.5, 104, 107, 108, 110, 112.5's available in the trapizoidal drive for the ...   05-01-2005 11:55 am

Anyone got any 100 degree cam gears they'd like to sell?  I've checked with Dave Bean, Delta, JHPS, and JAE but all of them are ...   04-30-2005 12:50 am

Actually, just measured mine. The tow tab on my subframe is 7.5" from the floor and it is the lowest point on the subframe (arms ...   04-28-2005 10:39 pm

Judson, What tracks did he run? I looked through SCCA data back to 1993 and the only JH I found running was the old Huffaker car ...   04-28-2005 10:05 pm

Mark that drawing is precisely what I envisioned - thanks for putting that out there. Excellent piece of work and if I have something made ...   04-28-2005 01:09 am

There are some 13" tires available that will work well, they are just race compound tires from Hoosier and Toyo. They are DOT approved though, ...   04-27-2005 07:54 pm

As you fellows probably know I'm getting ready to race a JH in SCCA Improved Touring. First time one has been raced in IT road ...   04-27-2005 06:51 pm

A few people emailed me about some pictures and progress of the race car so I thought I'd post some pictures.  I re-wired the entire ...   04-27-2005 02:19 am

If you want an idea of what these movies look like you can go here: http://www.gt40s.com/images/Z/ And then click on Z_Car.mov, a Quicktime movie. HINT- if you ...   04-26-2005 10:16 pm

I'll try that Jim.  I thought to push or put pressure on the assembly while tightening them, but ran out of time Thursday night.  There ...   04-24-2005 11:20 pm
