Right in 1... the #1 piston has broken rings, and the lands (??) where the rings sit have broken for about 2 inches. R; /html/mgs/1995-08/msg00550.html (8,988 bytes)

So much for the "find one to put on the MGB" idea. The conversation on the other list was about turbocharging a Spitfire, by the way (; /html/mgs/1995-08/msg00586.html (7,270 bytes)

Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Mon, 28 Aug 1995 09:21:33 -0400 (EDT); My only guess so far is that 1) blowing all that oil out starved the timing chain or 2) It had been going for a while and this was the only way for me to notice it (dropping the pan).

I find I have to run 92 octane or better in my 73. I do tend to run a degree or two advanced from spec but no more. It knocks quite noticably on 89 octane.

The oil pressure relief valve should limit your reading to 70 psi when cold. I have about 5000 miles on a rebuild and am getting your readings with 5W50 Castrol Syntec.
