Cat Cams in Belgium do a few profiles for about $1500/set and they have the Opel springs for higher lift. I got their ‘402 cams and with 10.5:1...
Brake pads are probably rocking a little in reverse and the edges are rubbing on the disks. Mark the disks with a marker and do the reverse test—...
I suspect that £50 for new bushes is cheaper than custom pins (which would only be required if the original bushes are worn.)
Where did the rod break Brian? My sample size on the SE bushes is small, two engines, but both had play in all the small ends. One engine 36k...
Does anyone have a photo of failed 308 rod? I found them sturdy except the soft bimetal pin bushes which had worn (too soft)
I did drawings and got quotes under £100 each but decided to stick with original and just use ARP bolts and better pin bushes. If there’s interest...
If your lower pulleys are pitted you could ask on here for a good used pair as I’ve sold a few of those round-tooth sets in the top photo so some...
I’d do it the other way round. The pulleys have no internal oil or coolant passages so blast them with anything. Use soda for the block and heads....
Use soda blasting to save having to remove all the plugs to clear out the media. You’ll have to drill out some plugs. I vapour blasted some heads...
Congrats Mike, not bad for a first try. I honestly thought this would be a trailer queen. I’d think about the ratio of fun:cost as 8 tenths on...
Hi all, Work and life have kept me away for a while but I just had a couple of people ask about cam pulleys. I only have two sets of the round...
Did you check in the box with the valves I sent as I put a quad seal in there. I used a normal viton o-ring between the engine and gear oil and a...
Hi Spencer, I’ve heard from several sources that the seats are hardened and fine for unleaded. As I said in my email, lining the older guides it...
These mounting brackets often break so I had some machined in 7075 so they are stronger and lighter than originals.They are for the electric...
These are for the electric Vitaloni side mirrors used on 308QV, 328, 400i, 512, Countach and a few others. I have four pairs left £100 plus post...
Hi all, sorry for the late reply. I have a few left but can get more made. Just need to find them in storage. Send me an email with which you want...
I’d put that cylinder to tdc, put some dyed foam (soap or shaving foam) into the plug hole and then some air pressure (after just air pressure to...
As they say in Ireland, Feck! Hope the drop gears and housing are salvageable. Don’t rush to take the offending head off— There is much you can...
Just saw that you’re back in business Mark, I need to catch up a few pages. There is no shame in having an 11 cylinder 308, 3 more than most of us...
I got some stainless plugs from McMaster or one of the usual suspects.
