Me again! Due to running costs the 308's getting pulled out & replaced with the 186:(. It's a 60 thou Aussie motor with a 3spd manual. It's got new rings & bearings, fuel & water pumps, new genie extractors, new clutch, new fan clutch, $1000 spent on the heads (ported, new valves / springs etc), but it does have a buggered cam & lifters (long story). Looking at ebay & the trading post there's no way I'd get 2 grand for it (spent more than that), so
I guess I'll have to store it. I was thinking of undoing the rockers to relieve the valve springs & wrapping the whole lot in pallette wrap. Any other ideas for long-term storage...?
The Beige Hornet.

we used to use auto trans fluid to seal the rings an lubricate the motor....you bring the motor up to around 3k revs and slowly pour atf down the carby until it starts blowing white smoke out the exhaust..as it start to do this you up the revs more and pr |
