Hey Mates
I am trying to figure out which push rods I need for my MG TD engine build. Or
rather, in the "real world" situation, if I can safely still use the "long"
push rods Moss sells. I say this because they no longer have the short push
rods.
The Moss catalog states the factory head depth is 3.022. The shop resurfaced
mine. My mechanic says it measures out with a very slight taper, but within
spec, and averages 3.00 inches. So is my head "excessively" thinner to the
point where the "long" push rods won't work?
Moss says that they now have only the long push rods. The rep told me that
Crane is out of business and no longer making push rods. I checked Crane's
Website. Sure enough. Today (April 22) they are auctioning off all their
inventory, equipment and intellectual property rights. Since they make the
T-series camshaft that Moss sells, I don't know the implications of this to the
T-Series community.
As far as my situation at present, I have the head torqued down and the rocker
arm assembly has been sent to Rocker Arm Specialists. So I hope I do not have
to go with two head gaskets and I cannot tell you is my rocker arm assembly has
the long or short adjusting screws.
