I'm as much a 'Healey Experience' purist as anybody, but sometimes, over the
course of 8+ hours of driving the constant wind blast on the back of my head
gets, well, uncomfortable. Has anyone fitted a wind deflector, similar to
what you sometimes see on Boxsters, to a Big Healey? I'm thinking you could
extend a tonneau support rail a foot or so and fill it with some mesh.
A friend has one of the old Alpha Romeo droptops, and he said his wife
wouldn't ride in it until he bought such a deflector, so they must help
some.

Subject: [Healeys] 100 engine question
Message-ID: <15d2d7c3fba-6eba-24001 at webprd-a11.mail.aol.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
My 100 engine was disassembled when I purchased the car.
I am about to begin the rebuilding of a BN-1 engine, so I have been taking stock of what I have & what I need. This invariably leads to surprises & questions.
I have been told that the 100 dipstick is intended to be pushed in until the end of the dipstick hits the bottom of the oil pan. I assume this is true because the dipstick does not have any "stop" build into it.
I discovered that I have (2) dipsticks as follows:
1. 2.5" from tip to "Max" mark. Overall length 18"
2. 3.1875" from tip to "Max" mark. overall length 19"
Did the 100 have different depth oil pans? Are either of these dipsticks correct 100 dipsticks?
On a related question, at a recent club meeting a member stated that his mechanic said the reason 100 engines leak oil is because when they are filled to the "Max" mark the level of oil in the pan will be above the "rear seal" (I assume he meant the factory Archimedes screw type seal) & therefore the oil will leak out until the level is below the bottom of the rear seal. Is there any truth to this?
