I have just published a blog post about C Allen and Son (Bristol) Ltd in Bristol. http://vitessesteve.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/c-allen-and-son-bristol-ltd-triumph-car.html I have found about the history of the firm but could really do with some more Triumph related material. However I was sent these pictures of an unusual Triumph document which feature the C Allen dealer stamp.

The info about the cinema is interesting. It is said that The Classic, Trinity Place cinema opened in 1938 and closed in 1965. I however believe that Clark & Lambert were operating from the same address as early as 1950 having seen them listed as a Land Rover dealer in 1950 and as car park also in 1950. Reading www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/news/local/rolling-back-years-... I wonder if the car dealer car park operated from premises behind the central cinema portion at first.

Alternatively hit the manifold with a hammer to reshape it slightly.

I assume you mean the compression rings. I think there is a lot of nonsense talked about some aspects of engine building. http://www.diagnosticengineers.org/journal_%20articles/Ring%20Gaps%20vs%20Knowledge%20Gaps.php covers an explanation of some points not to worry about.

Sounds like the roller rockers were not fit for purpose. If you know who fitted them I would try getting all or some of my money back. You could also try the maker of the roller rockers.

3 things in favour of an electric pump. A faulty mechanical pump can leak petrol into the sump unseen for ages - not good. Being attached to the engine block a mechanical pump can suffer from getting too hot - vapor lock. It is easy to use an electric pump as an immobiliser by fitting an extra switch in the wiring.
