Hi,
Thanks for the replies,Ihave spoken to Chris yet,but have dealt with him for many years and without doubt rectify the problem.I needed to know that this was aproblem before speaking to him.Crak was reground and block rebored.I will speak to him tommorow and no doubt he will sort it.

They send the crank and block away then rebuild it themselves,they say it is ok but i have nothing to compare it with to argue my point.

The engine was rebuilt,new oil pump,pistons and rings,all bearings,crank reground and unleaded head fitted,it was done by Tom Roy.

Could anyone tell me the best way to start my engine,if I turn it over without the choke it takes a while for the oil light to go out and starts without a rattle,if I start it it straight up with the choke the rattle is evident for a second then goes straight off as soon as the oil light goes out.En...

How should I use a jack and block of wood to adjust??
Cheers

Hi,
Just come to fit new one piece exhaust but found that it is either to close to the heat shield or to close to the chassis leg/torsion bar.Can anybody give me any hints as to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks Allan

I had same problem with mine it was the pipe all I done was to super glue the pipe and elbow no more leak.
Regards
Allan

Dont know how far it should move but if you suck on the end of pipe and then keep your tounge on the end of pipe the plate should not move back if it does the problem could be either the seal on the pipe or the diaphram itself.hope this helps.
Allan

New rubber mounts,but have taken brackets of old box,which way round do they go any pictures would be great.
Thanks Allan
