The steel shim and solid copper head gaskets are very picky about liner protrusion. The stock style sandwich gasket is much more tolerant of this kind of thing. - Tony Drews

The latest composite gaskets from Payden have the eyebrow removed from the gasket. The holes are not round, they have the "eyebrows" removed from both sides (in case you do this for the exhaust too).

I used them in the next to last rebuild of my motor. I would have used them again, but had a set of Deves rings on the shelf. I don't remember which ring land I had them in - whatever the instruction

As long as you can keep the inside wheel touching the ground a bit, the quaife works fine. Lift the inside wheel and it's still better than an open diff, but not like some of the other diffs. The Sal

I just found the Tran-x website. They shows a plate type LSD for a TR-6. I assume it will fit a TR-4 as well? Any hints on who sells them / how much? Looks like a similar setup to the Salisbury, but

As I understand it, the reason the big port head has big ports is that they ran a ball mill into the ports - basically a factory chamfer. - Tony Drews

While we're at it, check these out - Didier Pironi does the Watkins Glen long course in a 1978 Tyrell Cosworth F-1 car. It's certainly worth watching both versions. - Tony

I'm not sure how we arrived at these numbers, but we use 65 ft lbs with 7/16" studs and 75 ft lbs with 1/2" studs. With the 65, we'll get a little movement after one session and then it's rock solid.

We've run up to (and sometimes over) 5 psi with stock needle valves. Grose jets in place of stock needle valves don't work worth a hoot. 2 to 3 psi should be fine. The bigger deal is the fuel pump /

On the SU's, orientation of the float bowl tops (at least on the SU's with the floats attached to the lid) is important. You want the pivot at the front or back, not the sides. - Tony
