When closed, cold, there is no air feed to the oil cooler. The accordion thermostat is squeezed shut. The accordion opens as the hot ...

Hmmm... 5 volts to me means battery dying. When fully charged, a lead acid battery should be at about 12.6 volts. By the time it gets to 11 volts it is discharged.

Then use a spray bottle with diluted wallpaper paste, wet it out, then let dry... this will reduce the dust. Get a vibro multi tool with a smooth blade and a hot air gun to remove the carpet.this w...

Hi,
Maybe this will help...


Just kidding...

Just to add to my wows, put it all back together and have a brown wire with female  spade on loom next to distributer where does it go? Hi, should be the brown earth wire that goes on the distributor mounting stud. I sympathise with your dilemma, I will be 71 this year, and I lost the best part of ...

Hi, A broken stud is not the end of the world..... Which cylinder.... inside or outside?? All covered in burnt oil.. or nice and clean..? Can you see if the studs have been previously helicoiled?? Why did you have to remove the cylinder head?? This would be an ideal opportunity to drop the engine an...
