Jud, thanks a lot for the link. This will come in handy when I get to remove the head. Which is probably the next major step
Rgds, Mike

The rev counter on my 65 midget starts at 2500 rpm then goes up when i rev the engine and will go to o when i stop the engine think some one replaced it in the past as max revs 7000 rpm any ideas how i can fix it

It seems a little quiet here today, so I thought I'd introduce an NMC post.

I need to replace the outer CV joint gaiters on the little Rover, but don't really want to remove the drive shafts. I was considering using a cone tool for stretching the boot over the joint, but then I came across a CV joint puller and wondered if anyone had used one.
