Two checks to do: |

George Butz, It's lucky you caught that on your 280Z as many decades ago, I worked on a TD that had hydro-locked and it bent a connecting rod, just enough, to touch the bottom of the cylinder wall creating a strange ticking noise when running. |

The right brake disc was crooked 0.40 mm and too thin 7.22 mm. I replaced the brake disc, the runout is now 0.20 mm. It must be < 0.1 mm. My conclusion is that the hub is swinging. Is 0.2mm acceptable for a Sprite? The left disk has a runout of 0.002 mm. |

Maybe you had some latent trapped air in the heater and plumbing? I have had a couple cars that required turning the heat on and topping off a couple times after draining coolant. My TD had leaking headgasket, and the oil was milky white. My 280Z would fill a cylinder with coolant overnight and I would have to pull the plug and spin it over to pump coolant out before starting.

WR may be on the right track. Can you shut off the coolant to the heater(both inlet and outlet) to see if there is still a coolant loss? Maybe the problem is the plumbing to the heater or the heater itself. |

I am thinking of buying these new design floats, however I have a question. As they are different weight and density, Do I need to modify the fork gap to obtain the correct fuel level? |

Getting the collector off the manifold was an absolute pig and I have some repair work to do.
