Do you remember where the failed rollers came from?

I have a pair of these lenses if you need them. PM me.

The gallon size should be just large enough to fit one carburetor. I put the jets and small parts in a glass jar and submerge it in the solution. I often use carburetor specific cleaner, but recently found dishwasher powder an excellent cheap alternative. The soap is more caustic, so i wouldn't soak...

On vintage Ferrari engines, when the engine is hot, the oil pressure is usually pretty low. I like to see a little pressure, and not zero, but a tick off the bottom is common, What is important is the oil pressure reacts quickly with a little throttle. A lazy oil pressure gauge when the throttle is ...

It looks like it's been done. Auction houses are not in the business of dissuading you from buying a car, so information that would put doubt in a purchase is often conveniently omitted! For all the years I've been writing and posting videos of this problem, I still see GTCs being auctioned with thi...

the outside of the canister is painted a grey color and has a yellow stencil, but the inside is bare.

Yolanda just made me a pair! She has the molds!

The car is on the road and the sheer thrill of the driving experience & the roar of the V 12 is insane! She misfires a bit when cold but after the engine gets properly hot the misfire more or less disappears. One thing I am unable to understand is that on this forum and in the literature I have rea...

The fuel filter housing is some kind of alloy and does not rust, but corrodes like aluminum. I wouldn't coat it with anything.

Tom

I don't believe the GTE has these.
