361. MGA Performance- Part one (score: 1)

I tried sending this post Monday morning but it was too big. I have broken it in half and will attempt again. Thanks for the request for my opinion. I am not that familiar with MGA engine modificatio

362. MGA Performance, Part two (score: 1)
Author: William Eastman <william.eastman@medtronic.com>
Date: Tue, 05 Nov 1996 08:17:54 -0600
As I said, I have no personal experience modifying MGA engine. However, a lack of knowledge has never stopped me from having an opinion in the past and I see no reason to make an exception this time.

As Simon mentions, there are differing theories about what goes on inside an engine. My instructor worked on aircraft engines in WWII and he was very sceptical of anything written after that. I do se

I seem to remember that my 84 Vette had Lucas-Girling brakes made in Australia. Does this make sense? They worked OK except for poor boost action occasionally probably associated with the extremely w

Barney and others: I would be interested in hearing about your autocross setups- bars, shock oils, bushings, tires, etc. I would also be interested in hearing what parts you have broken. Barney has a

One problem that I have had twice now with alternator equipped LBC's: Both cars had the charging light come on. The light would go out at high RPM. In both cases, the problem was cold solder joints i

Date: Wed, 06 Nov 1996 10:54:48 -0600
Personally, I think that supercharging is an excellent way to get more horsepower out of older engines. A little pressure in the manifold makes up for a multitude of sins in head design! As I said be

Concerning supercharged compression, if my previous post was confusing, I apologize. By all means DO NOT increase compression on a TC you are planning to supercharge. When I suggested milling the hea

Ah, yes, another chance to expound my rather warped views on the world of internal compbustion. I am always willing to talk until my brain is empty and you have just chosen the topic of which it is q

Your are correct about cold solder joints. When correctly done, the solder wicks up the wire and out onto the pad showing that the area was hot enough to promote a bond. If the solder looks like a l

Supercharging a B series engine with that high of a compression ratio would seem pretty risky to me. However, when surfing, I ran across this fellow: john.crawford@aquila.com Who has a 58 A for sale

Thanks for your post on the cross flow head. It sounds very interesting. I don't remember if you mentioned it on this post but I believe that it is made out of aluminum. If all things are equal, I b

In a typical american engine, 10 psi boost would be OK with a 7.5:1 compression ratio. If care is taken in preparing the head of the TC- round all sharp edges, etc- it shoud be OK there provided you

When a camshaft is reground, they do remove material. However, they make sure that the base circle (the part of the cam where the valve is closed) is reduced such that it leaves the lift the same. So

MGA's are fairly simple cars. However, they are almost entirely hand fitted and no two are alike. This makes restoration more difficult. When looking at 'A's, there are certain known weaks areas that

Most cams are advertised by valve lift and total duration. There is no way that I know of to measure duration without putting the cam in the car and measuring with a degree wheel. Maybe you could do
