The Classic Marque

I had not realised it was a sprint/track car when I made my comments. Yes, DCOEs are best for very top end. Also nice to see the Mangoletsi linkage. My HIF44 manifold is from them.

I'm about as far away from a paint expert as you can get but also have had issues with using thinners to clean existing paint before spraying. I found panel wipe cured the problem.
Thinners and panel are similar but ASUI not quite the same formulation.

With my Sprite's engine and gearbox both overhauled and ready to go back in, I decided to tidy up the engine bay and give it a quick spray. For most bodywork I have usually taken it back to bare metal, but not every time and, so far, I have never had a problem with my new paint reacting with the existing paints.

I considered just spraying top coat but decided to play safe and give it a co...

Is it worth mentioning that I seem to recall that there are several grades or varieties of Wellseal?
I use black grade, for head gaskets especially.
Caterpillar specify it for the 3412s I used to work on, which are 27 litre twin turbo V12s running up to 30psi boost and 1250 hp.
I never had a HGF.
More recently it was the only thing that finally resolved persistent failures on a 19...

Good stuff--
Here's a couple of pics of a 4.4 going in a B, -as you can see they are a fair bit taller/wider than a rover but still fit under a std. flat bonnet ok

Death or Incapacity:
If a PM dies or is unable to continue, the cabinet or senior officials will act to ensure continuity. The Deputy Prime Minister or another senior minister may take over temporarily, though there is no automatic "acting PM" role.

Lucy Powell would probably take over briefly, until chucked out by whoever has the most clout with the looney radical wing, of which rant...

Pardon my ignorance, Mr A ( refer to earlier message)... but l thought we have a Deputy PM ready to step up in these circumstances...

Your cable seems something of a throwback to the days when cars had ignition advance levers on the steering wheel. I think motor cycles had such a lever too.
Further to my "Play" with advance springs, my current choice worked very well, on test yesterday, but I didn't dice with the red line though!! Never do in reality!!!
So if I get the urge to experiment some more, I now have a fall ba...

0.55v isn't that bad, especially compared to the 4.2v you got at the horns when the other end of that wire was measured. But if I have read correctly your meter was connected between the green inside the hub and the purple/black at the cowl so is only measuring the resistance of the slip-ring and brush i.e. not the horn button or column.

Ideally do that test again but with one side of th...
