In most diesel engines the oil pressure is a bit higher I presume, so again no problem. The degree of filtration is mostly down to the make of the filter. I believe MANN filters in general are not to bad. They are popular in Europe, perhaps even more so than the often looked down upon FRAM filters. Anyhow, as you change oil that frequent you would hardly need any filter at all, only just for safety reasons in case anything comes apart and distribute minute particles in the system..

Plus it adds bling . My question is , has anyone done this mod ? My car is a late production 67 BJ-8 PH II . And I need to find a set of air filters that will fit .

His property and home site is now a mile inland as the lava flow filled the entire bay. Tony is an avid British car guy with a nice collection.

Where do you get a socket to remove that nut.? My original Healey workshop manual shows a special service tool in the back for that purpose, but I don't have that.

References: Hi John, Yes. It's a special nut. It was designed by some particularly drunk BMC Accountants, after a long lunch one Friday afternoon. "Let's make that rear hub nut some really obscure size" said one. "And really thin - to make it cheaper!" Said another. "And 8 sided - that will really stuff them up. Then we can sell heaps of special spanners" And that's what happened. You can buy them on eBay. Many clubs have one they will loan out. And 100's are a different size to 3000's - so they could sell 2 spanners. Most previous owners used a cold chisel..... in my experience....

Four posts limit some access due to the width of the platforms but I use them the most. Two posts are a pain in the butt for the Healey. The spread between the two front arms are not bad. The rear won't clear the muffler. So I have to jack up the back sides, one at a time and place a 1-1/2 foot long 2 x 12 underneath the back wheels, and drive the car on. The 2 by 12 is chamfered to easily drive on. Then swing the rear arm past the muffler and reach underneath and put the rubber pad support back on, while on my knees. I have to put the longer pad spacer on to reach the frame. Hopefully the muffler is not hot at this point. This is going to raise the rear 2 inches higher than the front, unless I also add the 2 x 12's to the front. If I don?t, it will look like a "Wedge" Racer or old Chrysler, with the front being tilted down by 2 inches. Speaking of the front, the car must be centered exactly, or at least within two inches or the front frame rails can't be accessed. The Healey frame width is so narrow, the arms barely reach the frame and even then, they set just under the cowling. Kind of precarious as the distance between the front pair and rear pair is from the cowling to just in front of the rear wheels. Someone else may have a different experience, but that is mine. That is with any of the three BJ8 phase II's. I have never tried my BN4, a BN6, or the two bugeyes or the square body, Other's may have a different opinion or a different model. If you want pix, I can take some.

Tony's message to me was, "gone, all gone"....along with some aerial photos that shows the before and after. Tony and his wife had a lovely home along the rocky shore line. His property and home site is now a mile inland as the lava flow filled the entire bay. Tony is an avid British car guy with a nice collection. He was able to move the cars, parts and other valuables from their home prior to the desolation. Tony is a professor at the University of Hawaii and maintains a home in Washington State..

Socket will work barely. The problem with it is that is just barely engages maybe 3/16 inch on each end of some of the flats. Also because the large locking washer behind the nut is curved, a 12 pt socket barely engages the nut in depth due to the chamfer on the socket and the curvature of the locking washer. Having tried this and also using a custom made crowfoot wrench, Id higher recommend finding an 8 pt socket. Sounds like David Nock has them. Thats the way to go IMHO having tried it other ways.

Here?s the deal. The new car manufacturers specify the maximum acceptable tire runout and wheel runout. The tire and wheel manufacturers, of course, do not produce round tires and wheels. So the production deviations are represented by the typical bell curve. The new car guys obviously get the cream of the crop at the center of the bell curve. The aftermarket gets the rest of poorer quality. Incidentally, the Vredestein tires are made in Holland and they do not cell to the new car market. So your odds may be a little better for getting better tires. The second issue is the match-mounting situation. This is the process of locating the high spot on the tire with the low spot of the wheel. New car manufacturers require their wheel and tire suppliers to mark the high spot on the tire with a dot of paint and the wheel low spot with a stick-on dot. This saves the car manufacturers a lot of time, because they simply align the two marks to get a perfect match-mounting. Then the balancing can be done with the least amount of weight. The process of marking the tire this way requires significant time and a $500,000 machine to do it. Therefore the aftermarket tires do not get this treatment. There are procedures to accomplish this without having pre-marked tires. Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswttgUKstk This procedure adds significant time and cost to mounting new tires ? I estimate about $40 plus the normal $20 for normal mount and balance. The other way is the mount the tire, shave the assembly round then balance the assembly. Which may cost you 1,500 miles of rubber. The 165/HR/15 Vredestein tires only cost $119, so losing 1,500 miles is cheaper than the additional $30 to match-mount. This is why Allen Hendrix does his this way.

The promo flyer is also questionable as there is no such model as a ?1956 Austin-Healey 100M ?Le Mans? Roadster?. With such cars bringing large money today, sellers are calling their cars all sorts of things where in history the cars were standard without any bling at all. Sadly it all comes down to selling for more money.

If you go to autox.team.net/archives you will see the searchable archives you remember from the past. ? You may also notice that nothing has been added to those since December of 2016, a year and a half ago.? I updated some software on the server and it broke the automatic archiving process that was in place.? And sorry to say I have not been making fixing the situation a high priority.? The whole process is a sort of maze of Rube Goldberg software contraptions that do not well tolerate changes and have very specific interaction demands.? And there is no 24/7 Helpline for the old software, it is up to me to make it work again. I'll try to get it fixed when I can.? In truth I am sometimes amazed that for the nearly 3 decades that Team.Net has been under the care of a procrastinating scatterbrain like myself that anything at all is still working.? And hopefully I won't drop dead anytime soon. mjb.

I had to find my home made wrench in my morass of tooling and other junk that I can't seem to part with, junk that is (pack rat). Years ago I made this wrench out of 1/4 inch steel plate. I cut the outer shape with a band saw and the inner shape with a "zizz" wheel plunge cut on each flat enough to finish it off with a hacksaw. Then cleaned up the saw marks with an assortment of files and a belt sander. Being flat, there isn't the issue of the wrench twisting off the nut like an ill fitting socket with an adapter and breaker bar attached. I used a heavy brass hammer to strike the arm on my wrench and it worked very nicely. I also made a puller for the wheel bearing hub and can furnish pictures of it too if there is any interest.

I installed a generic backup fuel pump in series with the (points) SU, and a switch under the dash to select either pump or both off. Like Bob, I put a lot of miles on my car on some pretty long trips. On two occasions so far since installing the backup pump, I have had the SU either stumble (in Atlanta traffic, surrounded by semis) or fail to start the car. On both occasions, reaching under the dash and selecting the other pump kept me going. Later, the SU came back online by itself. I usually do the outbound leg on the SU and the return trip with the backup. Having that backup pump available has certainly been a comfort on those long trips.

I installed a generic backup fuel pump in series with the (points) SU, and a switch under the dash to select either pump or both off. Like Bob, I put a lot of miles on my car on some pretty long trips. On two occasions so far since installing the backup pump, I have had the SU either stumble (in Atlanta traffic, surrounded by semis) or fail to start the car. On both occasions, reaching under the dash and selecting the other pump kept me going. Later, the SU came back online by itself. I usually do the outbound leg on the SU and the return trip with the backup.Having that backup pump available has certainly been a comfort on those long trips.

I imagine, with regard to points, one has to have the right source. I get mine from Burlen in the UK who, incidentally, seem to have improved a lot recently. (But maybe Burlen supply everyone else?) Also from Midel in Australia. Not sure if they?re still going? At one stage, it was cheaper and quicker to get parts from them in Oz than from Burlen in UK, 80 miles from my front door. The rebuilt pumps are still going strong. I think the ?turn the body of the pump round by one more bolt hole? advice is worthwhile. I remain aware of SU?s potential for failure and tried to hedge my bets by installing a double-ender before a long foreign trip. I hope it serves to be similar to carrying a spare but, so long as you switch ends occasionally, you don?t run the risk of the replacement being dead right out of the box??that being something which I?ve heard of, but not experienced. One can find the double-enders on eBay or Autojumbles. Usually cheap. They often look so grotty that one would leave them alone, forgetting that one?s going to refurbish them inside and out??

Having bragged about my scientific creds, I decided I needed to do some 'scientific' experimenting.? I bought a new HD8 diaphragm jet from Tom's and put it in a jar submerged in denatured alcohol.? If you're not familiar with denatured alcohol, it's ethanol--i.e. booze--with one or more denaturing chemicals to make it unpalatable to drink.? When I first did this thought experiment, I thought DA was mostly ethanol, but the quart I bought at a hardware store claims to be 45-50% ethanol and the remainder methanol (and probably some water as both alcohols are hygroscopic).? Though this mixture doesn't represent the 10% or so of ethanol in gasahol, IIRC from my college chemistry and lab technician days that methanol is even more corrosive than ethanol.? So, this should be a good test of the rubber part of the jet's resistance to these solvents (and the brass part too, I suppose).? I put new jets in my BJ8's HD8s two years/12K miles ago, and should have done this then in case the results were scary, but maybe this will tell us something.? I'll check the jet periodically for degradation and, if anybody's interested let you know. Cheers, Bob -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I thought, the easiest solution is to change the pump with a spare pump I have in my trunk for about the same time as the first one. Both pumps look the same on the outside. Both pumps are wrapped in black tape. But the label on the box of the spare pump says: AZX1307 neg. earth. In the archives I found a very instructive contribution by Steve Russel from Aug 2009. And it ended with the words: "A picture would be worth a lot of words right now." So I removed the cap on both pumps to see if there is any difference in the wiring and took a picture, attached to this mail.. Both pumps look the same inside. You see the old pump on the left, the new one on the right. Under the cap you see a piece that looks like a capacitor, labeled as BZX1013. But following the explanation with terminal 1, 2 and 3 clockwise beginning with the power input stud and ending with the internal ground terminal I suppose the "capacitor" is a diode. But when there is no difference in wiring between the old and the new pump, why could it be, that the old one looking like a neg. earth ran 20 years in a car with pos. earth? I'm confused and hoping for your wisdom to shed some light on the problem. Best Achim ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I also used a small circular piece of 1/4" steel plate to beef up the center of the puller to give the all thread something to bite into when pulling the hub off of the axle housing. I double nutted some hex nuts on one end to be able to turn the all thread with a wrench or socket. The arbor (for lack of a better work) is used to placed in the opening of the axle housing and for the all thread to push on. Due to not having access to a lathe, I made the arbor out of different size washers to allow it to fit inside the housing opening then stepped up to rest on the lip of the housing and allow the hub and bearing to pass over it upon extraction. I hope all that makes sense. The hole pattern on the puller is for the studs on the hub.This goes with the wrench for the rear axle hub nut I submitted back on Jun 16.

I may be wrong, but think it may have something to do with engine compartment temp at the carb intake area; air becomes less dense and hence less O2 for combustion and mixture is now too rich at the idle setting and starts to splutter. I have put in one of those cheepo home wireless temp monitors (Wallmart) in that area; in cabin able to monitor the engine compartment temp as well as the air temp. Seems to start when compartment goes approaches 150F plus when idling on a hot day ? particularly when the oil is hot after a run. Temp rises quite quickly when you stop. Also oil temp. One of the AH problems is that there does not seem to have a decent exit path for the air entering.

The BJ8 has most of these issues sorted out (i.e. the BN1 has some problems with it because the fuel pump is mounted over the exhaust). I had a similar problem with my BJ8 and I fixed it when I replaced the throttle shaft teflon bushes in the HD8's. Apparently when the car was getting hot, the old HD8 bushes were worn out and the air gap would get big leaning out the mixture and causing stalling symptoms. Usually revving won't fix vapor lock, so you could have worn bushes.

Having bragged about my scientific creds, I decided I needed to do some 'scientific' experimenting. I bought a new HD8 diaphragm jet from Tom's and put it in a jar submerged in denatured alcohol. If you're not familiar with denatured alcohol, it's ethanol--i.e. booze--with one or more denaturing chemicals to make it unpalatable to drink. When I first did this thought experiment, I thought DA was mostly ethanol, but the quart I bought at a hardware store claims to be 45-50% ethanol and the remainder methanol (and probably some water as both alcohols are hygroscopic). Though this mixture doesn't represent the 10% or so of ethanol in gasahol, IIRC from my college chemistry and lab technician days that methanol is even more corrosive than ethanol. So, this should be a good test of the rubber part of the jet's resistance to these solvents (and the brass part too, I suppose). I put new jets in my BJ8's HD8s two years/12K miles ago, and should have done this then in case the results were scary, but maybe this will tell us something. I'll check the jet periodically for degradation and, if anybody's interested let you know.

Nope.?? Diodes allow current to flow in one direction, but not the other (the 'wrong' direction).? In this case, the diode is connected in parallel with the points, and reverse-biased; i.e. connected properly, the diode will not pass current, which will flow through the points and energize the pump coil.? Connected forward-biased, the diode presents essentially a short and current will not flow through the points and pump body, hence the pump won't operate (but the diode won't be damaged).? The way to fry a diode is to apply voltage that exceeds the diode's rated value; e.g. put 200V on a diode rated for 50V*.?? Older pumps used what appears to be an electrolytic capacitor to damp the arc, and they would be fried instantly if connected backwards. When the points open, the collapsing electromagnetic field in the pump body's coil--essentially a solenoid--causes the diode to be forward-biased and the diode will conduct ('shunt') the resulting reverse current back to the 12V power supply instead of across the points, mitigating wear on the points (I've heard this type of usage called 'flywheel' diodes, as they act to absorb the reverse current similar to the way a flywheel absorbs angular momentum). re: "You should have continuity in one direction across the diode?and none in the other." This test should be done with the diode out of the pump or, at the least, make sure the points are open else you will see continuity through the points and pump body or diode, regardless of the connection. * Unless it's a Zener--or 'avalanche,' or 'breakdown'--diode which is specifically designed to break down and pass current above a certain voltage.? These are used in rudimentary overvoltage protection circuits; when the Zener breaks down it passes current through--and, hopefully, blows--a fuse.? This is called 'crowbar' overvoltage protection, as the effect is like dropping a crowbar across across a hot lead and ground.? The TVS diodes favored by some to protect pump points are essentially a type of avalanche diode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient-voltage-suppression_diode Bob (yeah, it's a slow day and I'm recovering from a cold so have way too much time on my hands) On 6/23/2018 8:27 AM, WILLIAM B LAWRENCE wrote: > > Better yet test?with?a multimeter set for continuity.

The difference is in the colour code of the wiring of the diode. Red in one diode is black in the other. If you have a negative earth pump you can use it on a positive earth car if you change over the two wires of the diode and visa versa. These are later SU-Burlen pumps, not original SU?s. They probably have the taped plastic stepped caps instead of the Bakelite cylindrical caps sealed by a rubber band and taped over by tape with the SU logo. The older SU AUF301 pumps usually have a capacitor, a greyish/yellow cylindrical item with the the wires at both ends. These pumps are not polarity sensitive. I usually replace the diodes and capacitors by a transil, in fact a 2-way Zener diode which is bipolar and limits the voltage across the points to 18V, thus practically preventing sparking. These are also not polarity sensitive. The transil will cost you though, $0,10-$5!!!, depending on quantity. The AZX1307 is not the correct pump for the AH. The original on later cars was AUF300 series, mostly 301 but there are some variations.

Or in the backpack or saddlebag? if your a motorcyclist. I'd wonder about the effectiveness in comparison to touching a full one.

I started flying 50 years ago, only to have to give it up once I married, no money for something silly like a plane! A friend got his license about 8 years ago, took me up and that sunk the hook all over again. We decided to buy the kit instead of the two of us buying into a local flying club. The comparison of the RV12 to the planes I flew then is like comparing it to a Ford Model T!

Took it out today (Finally no rain in Ohio) and I like the results. My very crude method of measuring camber had me at 1 degree positive on the left side and about 3/4 degree on the right side. After a 10 mile run on some side roads and then freeway for 2 miles, I measured maybe 0 to 1/8 degree negative. I like the feel of not being on rails. I run brand new 165/15 tires on Dayton 60 spoke wheels.
