@peteinjp , Pete only did a leak down again shortly after the “treatment” and a bit of running about. Same results with other cylinders between 10-15%. #4 still sad. It was around 35%. Will do again at some point this summer , see if anything settled out with the rings or more crud burned off. So rebuild definitely in the future.
Cheers. |

If it’s still drivable with that leak down, keep driving it. No reason to tear it down during the driving season.

Hi mate,shit thats no good after all your work,have you taken it out for the classic "Italian tune up "which maybe you have done? ,when you have done a carb tune up have you noticed poor vacuum on that cylinder ?.

Latest update to conversion.
Did Mark Henry’s Ford solenoid conversion. Just a bit more peace of mind of having less juice go through the ignition switch. Car is running well. Aside from too many pops on accelerator tip in. Was discussing this with Dave. Might be a need for re jetting. Carbs were set up for Mike Fittons beautiful 2.7 six. Prolly a bit too much for my 2.4. Will investigate.

Chillin at Toppin’s place this morning. “Smokey” looking good sporting new mini-lites. Sorry don’t have a better pic. Trust me the StoneGrau car looks awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Discussed LeMans, carburetors, etc. A great visit. So glad all his surgeries are done and dusted. He’s doing quite well.

He’s doing quite well. nicely done, i plan on doing this soon as well, just for that extra piece of mind, i have never had a non start on my current and original starter from the OEM motor, but i did with a new one, and tihnk the new solenoids are not good so i pulled the new one are returned it and put my orignal one back in and no issues, but it couldnt hurt right? supposed to help protect the ignition switch too. looks pretty simple . oh and hi to dave good to hear he's doing well and hope to see him at Okteenerfest!!!! |
