Hi Johny - the engine I am working on is a Mk2 I was told that its a better engine so plumped for it as a sort of upgrade!! Aidan

Hi Quick question on the front sealing block Gasket - the original part no was 150531 but now told to use UKC8321 which is two smaller gaskets in my kit https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-UKC8321 How are these fitted / orientated please? Aidan
-
And the sump to the block if you have them, as I read the front and rear two need to be less as they go into the aluminium seals and not the block, so two settings needed Aidan

Hi again Can someone please confirm the torques settings for the oil pump to block please - my search came up with two different answers Thx

Hi all, Well after a six month break which has turned into three years the original post for has now gone. Yesterday I dusted off the block and have started the rebuild from the boxes and plastic bags of replacement parts and original parts. I will be asking for all your guidance once more Block rebuilt with pistons and new rings but not turned over for three years (Dry stored) Any precautions I should take to start with? TIA Aidan

This was the on I was thinking about https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202724632596?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MzOAHDPYTGC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=vwrVelPjRQS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Club shop also has the same I believe under GT6 and is probably the best price but I just remember a comment from somewhere Aidan

Hi Can anyone advise if the std 6 pot polished alloy cover will fit under the GT6 bonnet, or is the only option to chrome an original without spending a fortune on a triumph tune one? Thx
-
Hi Pete Powder coat? As in painted??? I'd like to re chrome but prices are crazy. I'd even prep them myself but can't find a company which would just dip them

Got through after 6 goes! Hmm guy on the end of line confirmed the despatch but really didn't sound all there!! Maybe they have a trainee running the phones and mail???

Hmm I'm now not so sure about Spalding - Paid for an order a few days ago now and heard nothing - sent mails and tried calling - always engaged.... NO RESPONSE Order was only £11 but even so....

Which car are you talking about? All my investigation so far show unf for a mk2 vitesse

Holding judgement on that!!! 😁 I'm not sure their sizes will fit hence the question- how long can they be to not cause a problem??
-
From a bit of research the manifold studs sizes on a six cylinder are as follows 3/8" UNF stud 6 off @ 1 7/8" L3/8" UNF stud 4 off @ 1 3/8" L5/16" UNF stud 3 off @ 1 3/8" L Can you advise on the lengths purchased as an alternative Spalding Fasteners on do the 1 7/8" ones Thanks

Sorry, also why brass nuts?? Would SS not be as good??
