Is that the bitter or the chum ?

Hello.
Having an internet mooch and discovered a web site about a chap who has one of the slant 4 Vauxhall engines used by Lotus to develop the production 907 engine. Might be worth a read.

Give the old ones a rub over with some brasso, then they'll look shiny and bright like a new one.

All I need is for someone to ask me to do it.

Please Sir, may I go

I can use the CLOG type method if it's easier.

Check the bolt that goes vertically from the mounting bracket into the edge of the waterpump is present. They have a tendency to work loose/shear off.
I've got that little gem to look forward to. I think some re-designing might be required.

I know Pete Boole has got a very interesting idea about how to make the saddle type cam cover leak free, so maybe of use to him.

See you tomorrow. I'm looking for about an 11 o'clock eta.

Work through this test card.

The fire may have damaged the internals of the distributor. There isn't much required to get a spark, so it might be easier to use a fly lead from a clean 12volt supply to the coil.

I'm presuming people's fears over Brexit are the reason for the poor attendance for this years show. I've written to Theresa May about my concerns and this was the reply: "The Cabinet has just had a long, detailed and impassioned debate on the attendance of Motorfest 2019 and the Outline Political D...
