How do i check if its the right head ? Tx
-
Thx a lot john for your message! So ! All plugs were out - throttle full open (carbs and inlet is out) I used my MGB battery that was fully charged. And yeah i have rotate on average 6 times but i waited to get the highest result. I doubt it s a battery problem, because i did c6 at the end and got higher results. But what do you think, is it still ok to run with this for a bit, even though it s not perfect ? Thx

Also yeah it s late one with dome piston

Hi guys here is my conpression test for my gt6 mk3, the head has new valves too. I know numbers don t matter, but there is a big variation... C1 dry 85 Wet 95 C2 dry 90 Wet 95 C3 dry 75 Wet 70 C4dry 73 Wet 70 C5 dry 100 Wet 100 C6 dry 105 Wet 125 Is it possible to have a lower result wet ?? But overall what do you guys think ? Thx
-
It s been converted to 2.5 during a rebuilt, don t have much info from previous owner. But yeah, you could tell there was a lack of power, compare to my 1976 mgb the triumph was much slower, very low torque. Btw i m gonna post the results of my compression test on the engine section. If you guys got a sec and let me know what yoh think it ll be amazing

It s a CD150, it has a choke temperature thing mounted on the side only on one of them, to adjust you need to insert a special allen key inside from the top, and the needle had a little spring, ID is 238 3581. Hope it helps ! Thx pete

GT6 mk3 with 2.5, delco remy d204 i think.

Hi clive, thx for your message, why should i check the dizzy ? And also what is cold air feed and rampipes? Never heard about. Thx for help, i m a beginner here !

Hi everyone, tomorrow if the compression test i m doing is fine, i will install my new 6-3-1 manifold. I will then put a new phoenix twin sport SS exhaust and k&n filters. I know it sounds like chirstmas ! I was wondering do you reckon i will have to change the needles of my stromberg cd150, currently i use B5DG. Any thoughts ? Thx
-
Found it !
-
Thx, but now the question is : from the oil filter conversion, which one is IN and which one is OUT.
-
Hi John, I see, make sense for you, it s a lot less hoses too ! Iain I don't understand your message, you mean i v got it wrong ? thx
-
Thx for your message and the clamps advices ! Yeah right now i need to figure it out which one is OUT and which one is IN.... Obviously not written anywhere.... If anyone knows... Thx folks !
-
Now that i v put the cap on i see now: the rotor was on top of wire no1, i crancked the engine till no6 tdc and rotor was on top of no6, make sense now. Thx for that!
-
thanks pete ! so it s fine right ? i just thought when no1 is on TDC the rotor was supposed to point at no1....
-
Hi guys, another quick one, i m trying to put back a rebuilt delco, i turn the engine to tdc on no1 and then put the distributor but it point down (see attached pictures) but when i turn another 180 and set tdc on no6 , the distributor arm points at no 6 ! (other picture) Is cylinder 6 no 1 ????? i m bit lost, thx for help !
-
Hi everyone, been away for long.... was in cuba, mechanicwise i saw crazy things out there, they are so smart and find ridiculous way to make those 50's / 60's car run. It s weird but it works ! i saw a firebird with a tractor engine.... ANYWAY ! I have to set up this oil cooler for my GT6 MK3 (don't judge me) I need to set up the thermostat and just wanted to check with you guys if it s the correct order. thank you so much for your help, and have a nice sunday !

Here is waht Rimmer told me : -regarding the fact that there is an open plug without cap : "the grease plug is part number 133106 priced at £4.08+vat and the earth strap 130581 priced at £4.17+vat." -about the grease : "Thanks for the email, the new steering racks are greased and 'sealed for life' so don't have the old type thread for the grease plug/nipple, sorry." but still got the feeling there should be a cap on it or something. hope helps
-
Gully ! had the same, when refitted the column, it wasn't align with the rack anymore, yeah that poly is lifting the all thing, crazy how you spend £££ on some piece of plastic, and good old rubber would fit better....
-
how is that boss ?
-
just working on the distributor and when i fitted the new fuel pump (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-213577) it s kinda in the way... don't think fuel line for carbs will fit, so just thought, can i open it, rotate and refit ? construction looks like circular, so wouldn t make no difference right ? thx
-
thx god your here pete ! i ll redo it this afternoon, sorry to bother but the haynes is an exploded view, so hard to tell where things goes... i ll let you know, thx again
-
Good evening, anyone can double check my connection please ? - the earth is supposed to be from condenser to side ? - is there a gap value when the distributor is refitted ? thx a lot
-
thx for quick answer, what about the poly bush, are they too big or is it normal ? thx
-
Hello, I just got a steering rack from Rimmer, removed the old one, easy. got the new one in and now got couple of question. there is a picture of my old one, and it has the nut for grease, and the new rack came without. Cant found it only, and can't remove it from the old one.... shall i just get a grease nipple and leave it there ? I got the poly bush, and they don't seem to fit very well with the U bolt. how come ? thx for help
