With for me Dave, although I cheat by using them to hide the spot brackets

[Dave Lane]

OOT in the sunshine , Gettin used to the sans over rider look

Damn good day for it Dave, weather was indeed nice, managed outside today as well but only few miles down road to mums and back.

As the ones fitted ( Nexen ) had hit 10 years old ive had the front tyres changed . Ive got Yokohama A539s fitted as on Barnaby ( 175/60/13s ) ,
Fitter was stunned as to how good the wheels were - only 5 grams out on the passenger side

Both mounted correctly too with the red dot by the valve ( but only if you have a red and yellow dot _

New boots I never knew about the dot..

Singers dipstick ( which happens to be a Van / Husky one ) has a habit of slowing coming oot the tube , its vibration not excess crankcase pressure , My brass remade dipsticks seem to be worst for this , most likely not enough spring in the brass .
Anyhoo ive gone back to a steel factory dipstick and invented a spring effort to hold the bugger in place - wont work its way out now
Also cleaned up the alternator supporting doofer wot I made .

Good use for the throttle return spring, did peter have one of those on his oil filler cap as well ?

Jim could be doing with one of these for the BMW but with a taller base to move the engine up a couple of inches and level up the driveshafts.

So a heatwave and a car with a reputation of boiling , warping heads , headgaskets etc etc ---- not a good combo except a well maintained engine and cooling system should cope fine .
So as a trial i stuck some Thermax heat sensitive stickery things on the rads of both - these will tell you what the temp actually is and not what the gauge tells you ( although both mine are bob on ) .
These just give a " max reached " temp so its not a gauge but a good indication of the hottest it got , they dont return to how they were but stay on the indicated max reached .
Anyhoo Heres the results of both mine - heater off obviously or we would cook - first off the Singer in 27˚C after a 10 mile thrash .
Second is Barnaby after 140 odd miles to the full English plus 40 odd miles this week to work and back , you can see number 4 block was just beginning to change on this so maybe 85˚C is a more accurate reading of this one

[John A. Ross]

Those are one pair of happy engines Dave, a real credit to your efforts
