first of all, hello to Richard Lindsay. good to see you posting again.
after my MGA sat neglected for a few months (LCOS??) the carbs leaked =
badly. I took them apart, cleaned them, and was going to do the rebuild =
myself, except we could not get the throttle shaft bushings in right. =
so I sent them off, and eventually they returned.
while I was there, replaced the freeze plugs/casting seals in the side =
of the engine. that took 3 tries to get right! also replaced the oil =
filter. this is a 56. it has the unique =E2=80=9Cside draft=E2=80=9D =
oil filter container. I couldn=E2=80=99t bear to replace it with a spin =
on; its too cool. but it is truly awful to change the filter. first =
time I cranked up the engine oil went everywhere as I hadn=E2=80=99t =
tightened that bottom nut sufficiently. second time there was still =
some seepage. third time seemed good. drove the car around the block, =
taking a few extra blocks in the process. life is good!!!
a few days later I took it out again. this time I noticed there was oil =
everywhere, in the ally, in the driveway, on the garage floor. oh =
dear!!
now its waiting its turn on the lift as I finish another car. 1967 =
Datsun Roadster. for those of you who know the cars, its an early low =
windshield car. had to redo the rear brakes, and realized just how =
dirty etc., the rear axle and suspension were. they all came out! =
I=E2=80=99ve finished up the cleaning, wire wheeling, power washing, and =
painting. the rear end and most of the suspension is back in. just =
have to finish up one shock, the hand brake, and bleed. thank goodness =
I have speed bleeders!
