Hi Tom, not to beat this to death but my age is showing as I left some of the meat out of the sandwich in my last post. You of course must have a piston stop or a way to verify that you have not gone past tdc,dial indicator ,modified spark plug,etc. Get close to tdc note # on tape .Reverse to stop a...

Hi Tom, another thought. First question,can these engines be rotated in the opposite direction without harm? If not, end of discussion. If so, attach a pointer near the crank pulley ,place a stip of timing tape to the pulley,rotate in one direction note # when you hit the factory #,rotate in opposit...

Hi Tom ,when in doubt take the advice offered by Mr. DWR46. Good luck,Mike

Using a dial indicator through the plug hole should provide confirmation. Mike

I used a spray dye from World Upholstery .It worked very well. They have a website and a wide variety of colors. Good luck. Mike

Hi Kerry, Jaguar E type roadster suppliers can get you the soft sealer strip used on the top of the windshield. Comes in a strip about 3 inches wide and 6 feet long, plenty to do numerous pieces of glass. It wraps around the edge of the glass and the excess is trimmed with a razor blade after the ch...

Dear all, I try to disassemble my steering knuckles because there is to much clearence. But there is no direct access to press the pivot out because of the nose piece for the rubber damper. I do not want to use raw forces or burner heat in fear of damaging something. I assume it is a cone fit. Any ...

Hi Markus, have you given any thought to casting them yourself out of cold cure black resin? I made some knobs for my C4 and they came out great. Very easy to do with kits available online. Good luck, Mike

Hi guys, re; Tony Randazzo,I bought some parts from him a few years ago face to face. He is a nice guy and was willing to bargain. Perhaps a little dickering might result in a better deal. Best regards,Mke

Hi John, without seeing it I'm not sure about this suggestion. Sometimes the arm will ride up or down on the post.A small O ring stretched over the post or a plastic or fiber washer split and placed under the point arm should keep it above the screw. Could you use a screw that has a head that protru...

Hi John, I once cured a spotty running condition on my car by cleaning and securing all the connections on the resistors. Also a good idea to clean the coil towers themselves as arcing can occur there. Good luck ,Mike

Hi Peter, perhaps a bit of silicone caulk ? Good luck Mike
