41. Front End Bushing Replacement (score: 1)
Author: Chris Attias <cattias@cats.ucsc.edu>

I spent the larger part of Saturday afternoon replacing the front suspension bushings on my '64 MGB. I definitely learned the value of anti-seize or grease! I had rebuilt the front end a couple of ye

There is a difference between the two cranks, and I think you are right--the machinist should have checked at some point. The problem is that if the engine is received in pieces or comes with owner-

Well, it looks like I will be going to Plan B for replacing my early MGB Jaeger fuel level sender. The first Moss/ Nisonger repro unit had too small a bolt circle to fit the tank flange. The second o

I've got a set of Michelin Rainforces in 185/70-14, and I like them a lot. Do you have a dealer with the right balancer adapter for wires? Makes all the difference in the world. IMHO, worth shipping

That had me puzzled, too, but I don't think we are talking about "early" as in pull-handle. I'd guess this has more to do with the pull handle on the inside, vs. the rotating handle (pre-'68). -- Ch

Joe, I guess the question I'd have to ask re: Geico is whether the payout on a totaled "classic car" would also be about "half". Do you and your agent agree on what your car is worth? I ask this beca

My understanding is that the valving design and tolerances of tube shocks, in their more expensive and higher-tech incarnations, are better suited to performance applications. There are things like d

I guess I'd have to say that engine performance is ultimately a little easier to quantify than suspension performamance. Once you've set up the Engine X with a new cam, a chassis or engine dyno can t

When I did a head a few years ago, I got an old, cracked head of the same casting type--cheap and easy, since there are so many around--and cut it into sectional slices with a metal-cutting bandsaw.
