The Classic Marque

The one you show is the one that fitted mine. I think Clive Wheatley shows the same one but from a different angle as you can only just see the ears that fit against the release arm on that, but I can just see the groove that retains the spring clip.

Make sure you clean the nose of the 1st motion shaft and inside the pilot bearing and lubricate them and the splines with a specialist grea...

most if not all composite gaskets are made from an impregnated material , as you say to prevent coolant/oil wicking through them.
I'm unfamiliar with the Victor Reinz gasket, so can't directly comment on that particular gasket as far as running it up dry---maybe message them for comment if there's nothing mentioned on the packet the gasket came in.
I know some Payen gaskets state it in the...

Ralph, sorry!
I'll be jiggered - we were in Mill Park ( first career) from '88 to '93. Still have an old car mate in South Morang ( previously RM Riley, now a Healey 3000).

John.
I'm in Greensborough, Melbourne.
Cheers.
Ralph.

Bob (?) - very helpful link, thank you and Chris. I'm warming to the idea of getting colour-matched piping made up. I'd forgotten how valuable Chris' website is for checking detail - I know I'll be going back to it frequently as the renovation progresses. John.
PS Where in Vic., R.E.J.?

Have you read the letter from Healey to Starmer?
You might want to switch off your irony meter first, or there could be a fire.

Healey does a Howe, and serves Starmer's head to him on a plate.

How long has Suckeer got now then?

Funnily enough I had a conversation only this morning on this very topic with a very nice Polish chap I know who owns a 1947(?) Morris 8.
It's a bit "patinated" but runs really well.
He told me he often gets flashed and horned even in our town where he mostly uses the car. In (at most) a 30mph limit.
In fact the main road through the town from right outside my driveway to the end of ...

From what I can gather, the Victor Reinz composite head gasket (part no: 61-35330-00) does not have a sticky adhesive on its surface. Instead, the surface has a special dry coating (or impregnation). This coating stops the gasket from soaking up oil and water - this came from Google!
Therefore do I run it without coolant initially to get hot or fill it after installation?
My current, revis...
