A NOS steel/asbestos/steel? head gasket will be better as there will be far less electrolytic corrosion. Better still to use a modern composite head gasket if available, but check the torquing procedure as that may be very different compared to the old fashioned way. Sometimes new studs and nuts are required. As mentioned by Alan regular re-torquing an aluminium head on a cast iron block is sometimes necessary as the aluminium of the head expands quite a bit more than cast iron/steel when hot thus exposing the copper head gasket to a varying compression all the time which will harden and flatten the copper.? A steel/asbestos or composite head gasket? may be less sensitive to this. Make sure you use thick machined and hardened steel washers under the head nuts to prevent damage to the head. If the copper gasket has no visible damage you may possibly reuse it after annealing, heating it evenly to cherry red and letting it cool down.

I took them out ot look and found they are not exactly the same.? Take a look at the pictures and you can see the difference. mostly on the right side of the badge.? The top pf the "H" in Healey has two different size arrows and the loop in the cursive "y" at the end of Healey are different sizes.? To top it off the dimpled surface below the lettering is more pronounced than the other.? Any idea if either of these badges are close to an original?Mike MacLean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unless your wife is VERY short, a headrest mounted to the seat back will have to be (rough guess) a foot above the top of the seat to be at head level. There?s a reason you never see that in a modern car; the physics of mounting it that high, assuming the legs are even long enough, are not in your favor to provide any sort of protection?it?s simply too long a lever. And, as Perry notes, the seat back structure is insubstantial; it?s just a concave piece of sheet metal. There is no top bar you can drill through as in the video. Your idea of captive nuts welded onto the seat backs suggests that the whole mounting apparatus would be external to the upholstery. Again, given the lever effect, and the metal substructure, I would be very concerned that the whole assembly would be, again to use Perry?s term, flimsy. The only option I can see that would have some structural integrity is to weld tubes onto the back of the seat backs, which would require a completely reupholstering the backs. If you want headrests, and a more comfortable seat to boot, I?d think it would be a whole lot easier to just replace the seats with ones from a Mazda Miata. If I recall correctly, Al Fuller did this in one of his Healeys.

Unless your wife is VERY short, a headrest mounted to the seat back will have to be (rough guess) a foot above the top of the seat to be at head level. There?s a reason you never see that in a modern car; the physics of mounting it that high, assuming the legs are even long enough, are not in your favor to provide any sort of protection?it?s simply too long a lever. And, as Perry notes, the seat back structure is insubstantial; it?s just a concave piece of sheet metal. There is no top bar you can drill through as in the video. Your idea of captive nuts welded onto the seat backs suggests that the whole mounting apparatus would be external to the upholstery. Again, given the lever effect, and the metal substructure, I would be very concerned that the whole assembly would be, again to use Perry?s term, flimsy. The only option I can see that would have some structural integrity is to weld tubes onto the back of the seat backs, which would require a completely reupholstering the backs. If you want headrests, and a more comfortable seat to boot, I?d think it would be a whole lot easier to just replace the seats with ones from a Mazda Miata.

The formula is too thick to work in a dispenser. The canisters have also been altered to no longer work in a dispenser. If the customer is looking for a dispenser for tough soils we recommend our PRO TDX Line (2000 ml dispenser 7200-01 or 5,000 ml dispenser 7500-01). Please refer to our website at www.gojo.com, please be sure to select the country of origin above the product search box. In our product search box please enter the item number provided "7200-01" or "7500-01" and the product will be listed. If you select the blue hyperlink (highlighted name in blue) to the right of the product, this will take you to a more detailed page about that specific dispenser. If you then scroll to the bottom of this detailed page all refills and related products will be listed.Thank you!

The seat rails work the same way as a big Healey, but measurements would need to be taken to see how well it would all work. And the seat back isn't really very thick. The Healey seat backs are curved more, so the overall may be around the same. Take a tape measure to a British car show near you and ask some of the owners if you can measure their seats. Another advantage to using MGB ones are that you can get leather covers with maybe the exact same color as your Healey seats are. I think that 1969 was the first year for headrests and they were leather. Checking out a Moss catalog would tell you when they went to vinyl.

It has been a long time since I checked out the possibility of using seats from a different car, but I seem to recall the problem was with the width of the top of the seatbacks. The Healey has curved back so that the seat can slide backwards without touching the interior panel that protects/hides the convertible top mechanism. If the MGB seat backs are narrow enough, they might work. > > > > Thanks > > -skip- > > > > > > From: Charlie Baldwin [mailto:mgcharlie at comcast.net] > Sent: Friday, September 6, 2019 10:57 AM > To: skip saunders; healeys at autox.team.net > Subject: RE: [Healeys] Fwd: Re: headrest > > > > Skip, > > I'd say the MGB seats would work well since the cars are similar in size. The seat rails work the same way as a big Healey, but measurements would need to be taken to see how well it would all work. And the seat back isn't really very thick. The Healey seat backs are curved more, so the overall may be around the same. > > Take a tape measure to a British car show near you and ask some of the owners if you can measure their seats. > > Another advantage to using MGB ones are that you can get leather covers with maybe the exact same color as your Healey seats are. I think that 1969 was the first year for headrests and they were leather.

The ?strength in a crash? issue is important to consider, however I am not interested in the headrest from that standpoint. My wife simply likes to rest her head when we are cruising around. The Miata solution is interesting, but I am leaning a bit more towards an adjustable headrest. The MGB seats might be ok, but I wonder about how the relatively thick seat backs of those seats work in the limited space of a Healey cockpit. > > > > For any of these ?swap out the whole seat? solutions, are there significant modifications required to the floor pan of the Healey?

I installed two of these seats in our "Around the World 2000" 1962 BT7 - see pictures. When they are properly padded and covered, the seats are extremely comfortable and gave us no problems in this very long rally back in 2000, plus the Route 50 experience. There is enough room for them to be adjusted, albeit slightly. Make sure that you install the MGB runners as well.

You need to use the MX5 seat runners. On the 100, the seats fitted better swapped side for side (this on a RHD car) so you end up with the backrest adjustment on the inside. You also have to take the seat belt mounts off the seats (they?d be on the wrong side anyway) On my (RHD) car the driver?s seat has 3-4? fore and aft adjustment, less on the passenger side because of the shape of the transmission tunnel (this is a 6 cylinder one in my car because of the 700R4 auto trans (sorry Josef!) The seat doesn?t get in the way of the handbrake, although mine has a bit of a crank in it (it?s from a Series II Landrover!) I have the seat right back & reclined slightly ? I?m about 5? 9?.

You have to allow some head room for expansion, and filling above a certain level serves no purpose (unless you have a leaker and want to top up before a long trip).? Also, when he rebuilds shocks he 'exercises' them on the bench so the dry fill gets properly distributed.

The first problem is that the fasteners on 100s (BN1/2) engines are Whitworth (55? thread pitch angle) BSF (British Standard Fine). As such a 3/8" BSF fastener has 20 tpi. A 3/8 X 24 tpi fastener is a standard UNF, ANF or SAE Fine thread, basically a US Hardware store fastener, and is totally incompatible! These not only have a different tpi, but they are a 60? thread pitch angle. -Curt On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 1:59 PM Randy Hicks via Healeys < healeys at autox.team.net> wrote: > Received this from a friend.

The line includes engine oils, gear oils and coolants. The oil carries both the American Petroleum Institute (API) diesel "C" rating as well as the API gasoline engine "S" rating. Ratings differ based on the oil. Rotella oils like T3 15w-40 meets both the API CJ-4 and SM specifications, and may be used in both gasoline and diesel engines. However, it is formulated specifically for vehicles without catalytic converters, containing phosphorus levels beyond the 600-800ppm range.[1] Therefore, Rotella is not recommended for gasoline vehicles with catalytic converters due to the higher risk of damaging these emission controls.[2] Newer formulations of Rotella T6 however are API SM rated as safe for pre-2011 gasoline vehicles. Shell is marketing their new CJ-4/SM oil as "Triple Protection," meaning it provides enhanced qualities for engine wear, soot control and engine cleanliness. Shell's Rotella website indicates that on-road testing confirms the new Triple Protection technology produces better anti-wear characteristics than their existing CI-4+ rated Rotella oil. This is achieved despite a lower zinc and phosphorus additive level as called for by the API CJ-4 specification. (The 15W-40 Rotella T with Triple Protection oil has approximately 1200 ppm of zinc and 1100 ppm phosphorus at the time of manufacture.) , though marketed as an engine oil for diesel trucks, Rotella T6 5w-40 synthetic oil has also found popularity with drivers and tuners of gasoline powered vehicles that utilize turbocharging or other forms of forced induction. Several owners of high performance model cars have adopted its use due to its high heat tolerance and its resistance to shearing. Rotella T6 is a Non Energy Conserving Oil, and does not meet GF-5 Oil specifications. When Rotella T6 was revised for the API specification(for use in spark ignition engines), its Zinc levels were effectively reduced. Higher(content) Zinc Additives(ZDDP) are required for flat tappet engines and cartridge bearings, which In previous formulations Rotella T6 had desirable levels of Zinc(ZDDP) I guess it is saying we have to use a bit of additive to T6 to bring it up to 1500 ppm? Or, the Triple Protection Technology gives us the same anti-wear characteristics? Comments? Bob Begani -----Original Message----- From: Tom Felts Sent: Monday, September 16, 2019 4:01 PM To: P.M.

You can check zinc levels online from the oil's website - usually by downloading a pdf. What I settled on doing for our beloved '69 Ghia convertible and her Healey consort (once I get him going, that is) is a zinc additive. My understanding is too much zinc can also be a problem, so adjust the additive to the underlying zinc in the oil you are using (you want about 1500ppm total). Alternately, some folks might smuggle in VR-1.

A few years ago it got pulled from the shelves of my favorite local parts store, and no one seemed to know why.? Lots of rumors that California had banned it, but a few months later it was back on the parts store's shelves. AFAIK, California has not banned any oil for ZDDP; it would have to ban all the 'high zinc' additives, and all the other 20W-50 oils advertising 'high zinc' (Brad Penn, lucas, etc.).? Last time, I heard through the mill it was Valvoline's doing (possibly due to the product being re-labeled).? Zinc can be toxic--any welder will tell you not to weld galvanized--but it's main issue is that it fouls catalytic converters.? Few, if any, new cars recommend 20W-50 oil (but I think some Porshes spec 10W-60). Bob On 9/16/2019 10:59 AM, P.M.

Dismantle and see if it is blocked or dirty. Clean or renew and refit. On some of the cars there is a diaphragm in the crankcase ventilation system fitted between valve cover and inlet manifold under a spring loaded disc that you can remove. Perhaps the diaphragm is split. Also check the accuracy of the dipstick. If an engine is overfilled with oil it will often consume a fair bit of oil until the oil level is normal. If the car emits blue smoke continuously when accelerating hard: worn rings/pistons/bores. If the car emits blue smoke momentarily when accelerating after decelerating on the engine: worn valve guides or seals.

Compression test should all be about 140 to 160 2. Cylinder leak test should all be about 10% to 15% 3. Check rear air filter at the bottom and see if there is excessive oil at the bottom of the filter. If so remove the valve cover and you will most likely find a badly worn rocker assy. The top hole will squirt oil to high and spray everywhere in the valve cover, Then down the breather tube and into the rear carburettor. 4. Last the notorious oil leaks.

On some of the cars there is a diaphragm in the crankcase ventilation system fitted between valve cover and inlet manifold under a spring loaded disc that you can remove. Perhaps the diaphragm is split. Also check the accuracy of the dipstick. If an engine is overfilled with oil it will often consume a fair bit of oil until the oil level is normal. If the car emits blue smoke continuously when accelerating hard: worn rings/pistons/bores. If the car emits blue smoke momentarily when accelerating after decelerating on the engine: worn valve guides or seals.

If you don?t have them (they deteriorate over time), they are available from the usual suppliers. You are right the drawings on assembly are ambiguous ? even in the parts book. I put mine on the way they came off, and it has been five years since I last did them. I recall it is relatively obvious but I always note the assembly when taking it apart. I don?t trust my memory to describe it ? I will leave that to others. Don?t be intimidated by setting up the front bearings, it really is not that hard at all and the factory workshop manual provides good guidance. Norm Nock also has a description in his book ?Tech Talk?, which is still available from British Car Specialists. It is important to have a selection of a few shims handy. When I last did mine, I followed the workshop procedure and when I got it almost perfect added/subtracted shims and spun the hub by hand, feeling for drag until I was satisfied that the bearings were running free, but that there was absolutely no end- play in them. Some people use a dial gauge to measure end-float, but I think it is unnecessary and have always (i.e., for over 40 years), done it by feel. Make sure when you are setting up the bearings that you have some good calipers (i.e., decent metal ones, not plastic), or use a micrometer, to check the shim thicknesses ? don?t rely on whatever the package says ? measure them! Do not grease the bearings when setting them up. I sprayed mine with some WD40 to provide some lubrication just while setting them up as you should not spin dry bearings, but a very light oil (3 in 1?) would probably be OK. When you are satisfied with the set up, then disassemble, noting the shims you used, wash out the light oil you used with a solvent, then pack the bearings, install the seal and put it all back together. Be sure to dry all the solvent out of the bearings, preferably using compressed air, but paper towel and perhaps a hair dryer would work, before packing with grease. Getting this right is really important as it substantially adds to the strength of the front axle assemble and minimizes cracking and failure of the stub axle. Put on some music, have a beer, and enjoy it.

If you don?t have them (they deteriorate over time), they are available from the usual suppliers. You are right the drawings on assembly are ambiguous ? even in the parts book. I put mine on the way they came off, and it has been five years since I last did them. I recall it is relatively obvious but I always note the assembly when taking it apart. I don?t trust my memory to describe it ? I will leave that to others. Don?t be intimidated by setting up the front bearings, it really is not that hard at all and the factory workshop manual provides good guidance. Norm Nock also has a description in his book ?Tech Talk?, which is still available from British Car Specialists. It is important to have a selection of a few shims handy. When I last did mine, I followed the workshop procedure and when I got it almost perfect added/subtracted shims and spun the hub by hand, feeling for drag until I was satisfied that the bearings were running free, but that there was absolutely no end- play in them. Some people use a dial gauge to measure end-float, but I think it is unnecessary and have always (i.e., for over 40 years), done it by feel. Make sure when you are setting up the bearings that you have some good calipers (i.e., decent metal ones, not plastic), or use a micrometer, to check the shim thicknesses ? don?t rely on whatever the package says ? measure them! Do not grease the bearings when setting them up. I sprayed mine with some WD40 to provide some lubrication just while setting them up as you should not spin dry bearings, but a very light oil (3 in 1?) would probably be OK. When you are satisfied with the set up, then disassemble, noting the shims you used, wash out the light oil you used with a solvent, then pack the bearings, install the seal and put it all back together. Be sure to dry all the solvent out of the bearings, preferably using compressed air, but paper towel and perhaps a hair dryer would work, before packing with grease. Getting this right is really important as it substantially adds to the strength of the front axle assemble and minimizes cracking and failure of the stub axle. Put on some music, have a beer, and enjoy it.

Right now I have a bare swivel axle and need the assembly order of the brakes and extended splined hub. As far as I can glean from all the info I have gathered so far, the caliper mounting plate should go on first, then the splined hub and disc assembly. (a major source of apprehension in itself) After that I can assemble the caliper and brake line connections. Did I miss something? That kind of glosses the assembly over. It's going to be more work than it sounds as I have never done anything other that drum brakes on the front of my Bugeye. The splined hub installation with the shims and lining up the split pin sound like barrels of fun. It's finally cool enough nights to go back out into my garage and bust some knuckles.

This is information it has about when the dust covers were added. Part numbers are BTC204 and BTC205. Com. (C) 9450 BN7 Disk Wheels, 9453 BN7 Wire Wheels, 9088 BT7 Disc Wheels, 9090 BT7 Wire Wheels. It is safe to say 1000's of AH 3000 were made with disk brakes and without the dust covers. For the earlier cars BMC offer an optional kit to retrofit. I trust this helps to put your mind at ease.

I had oil in the water and the car would over heat on a regular basis. In 2011 I spun a bearing and the engine was sleeved. These have been there since the rebuild and not before. When you look at the top of the engine you will notice that the center passenger side water galley has a plug. Does this belong there? #1 and #4 pistons are heavily carbonized, why? The head is going to be magnifluxed and pressure tested. I drove this car for 13 years without a problem till the bearing spun, totally frustrated right now. Time for a beer.

I tried every way I thought they should be put on the car, but could not get the mounting tabs to line up with the caliper plate bolts.Not even close. I'm ready to finish the front hubs and disc brakes without the backplates. Is there any of you guys running conversions or standard disc brakes without these things? Do I absolutely have to put these things on the car? Ok, that's the rant for this week.

Jim, Here is the schematic of all the rivets for the windshield posts and their sizes as well as their location. Some of the rivets you will purchase will be too long, it shows here the length they should be before being squashed. Some of them you will have to do with a hammer and work at it as they are made of pretty heavy steel while some others will barely need to be tapped on. One good place to order rivets is Hansen Rivets, they are located in California, I have not purchased from them in the last couple of years but they were great to deal with then.

ALL. I am rebuilding my original Healey (66 BJ8) and had the windshield stuff re-chromed about six months ago. All of the surround stuff was wrapped well and I just left it like that until this week. When unwrapped, I found the chromer had dis-assembled the side pillar's including removing the rivets for the top hooks. Can anyone tell me where to find those rivets and a tool to press them in. They would have to be a very strong rivet. Jim Frakes, Central Indiana AHC.

The windings on the resistor in the sending unit are not as close as an original sending unit and some sending units only have one contact point. I believe the Moss Gold unit has corrected this issue. This could cause the erratic behavior. However the main reason is most likely: 2. The magnetic coils inside the gauge control the full to empty range. They are hard to adjust even if you send the gauge to a shop to have it calibrated. I have not been able to resolve this issue. I think it is because the coils are out of plumb with respect to the pickup within the gauge due to adjustment wear over the years. I can't find the MG site that has more information about this issue but the picture below show the coils and pickups. You can adjust the coils by loosening the nuts on the back of the case but when the nuts are tightened the coil calibration is affected. I have never successfully calibrated the gauge so it works correctly. By the way, be forewarned if you decide to disassemble the gauge it is a very delicate process and you could break the needle or the very fine coil wires.

Years ago, when first restoring my Healey I built the electronic switch box described on that web site to calibrate my gage. I think it worked well and I still have that box with the rotating switch. If I can?t find a problem with the sending unit I?ll go back to the gage and attempt to reset the calibration. I?m definitely interested in any improvements Moss has made or better sending units now available. https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/circ_f1b.htm https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/fg_01.htm Thanks, Ron Fine From: John Spaur Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2019 9:53 PM To: 'Ron Fine' ; 'Healey Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Healeys] fuel gage sending unit There a couple of issues that the list did not address. 1. The windings on the resistor in the sending unit are not as close as an original sending unit and some sending units only have one contact point. I believe the Moss Gold unit has corrected this issue. This could cause the erratic behavior. However the main reason is most likely: 2. The magnetic coils inside the gauge control the full to empty range. They are hard to adjust even if you send the gauge to a shop to have it calibrated. I have not been able to resolve this issue.

Same experience as others, I bought a set of 4 Michelins 180 HR 15 XAS and the delivery was in 5 days. I had delayed the order a few days so they would not arrive until I got to our Florida home so I could pick them up. Unfortunately, my wife went to the PO to pick up our mail on hold and was surprised to have a platform truck wheeled out with tires on it. Fortunately, they were easily rolled into the CRV and she was able to roll them into the garage. She was not a happy camper. I look forward to getting new threads on the BJ8 in the coming weeks. However, the use of Her Majesty's Post and the inexpensive air rates may no longer be available in the future because the Trump Administration demanded the International Postal Union to revise the system of charging for handling overseas postal deliveries by the member states. The rates were hardly changed over many years so that the USA Postal service was paying millions of dollars to deliver packages from China each year due to ecommerce. The recent agreement in Switzerland was to allow the USA to raise their rates beginning in 2020 each year for the next 5 years. The first country to be charged higher rates will be China, obviously. The US will not increase rates for the less than developed countries. Other countries will be allowed to increase their rates accordingly. So maybe the cost of buying and delivery of parts via airpost from the U.K. will increase in the coming years. .

I know this is a very subjective statement and I have no way of quantifying the braking but I have been driving my car for 20 years and am sure that it just isn't stopping the way it used to. Here is some background information: 1. I just, as in last week, replaced the brake hoses front and rear with a set of braided stainless hoses obtained from Old Phartz. I used him as opposed to Moss or other suppliers because I have BT7 front discs and stock 100 rears which take a different rear hose than the 6-cylinder cars, and he was willing to "Mix and Match" the later front hoses and original rear hose, whereas Moss only wanted to sell me two kits. It took a bit longer to obtain them than originally promised but what came in was great--actually about 3/4" more in length which made installation a bit easier. 2. I also just--last week--rebuilt the master cylinder and installed new rear wheel cylinders, and in the process flushed the hydraulic system entirely and refilled with Wilwood 570 high-temp Dot 4 fluid. The system is positively bled and the pedal is nice and hard and where it should be with just a bit of free movement. 3. The front pads and rear shoes have been replaced within the last twelve months and probably have less than 3K miles on them. Nevertheless the rotors seem to have a "glazed" appearance and the rear shoes have definitely been exposed to some slight leakage of diff oil, though not enough to saturate them. Shoes and drums were cleaned following cylinder replacement. 4. I have a restrictor valve on the line to the rear brakes which, when turned down all the way, reduces fluid flow to approximately 60% of wide open. I have the valve turned all the way to reduced-flow in order to maximize fluid delivery/pressure to the front brakes as they do most of the work. There is a definite falling off in brake performance as the valve is opened. 5. The rear brakes are properly adjusted and the parking brake is functional when engaged. 6. I can, with extreme pedal pressure, lock the front brakes with little or no side-to-side pulling. 7. Tires are Michelin XAS with plenty of tread and 30 psi all around. I just lost my lease to a warehouse space I have been renting and must clear out in a few weeks, so for that and other reasons I am not able to undertake any big project such as putting in a servo or replacing the front rotors with some racing stuff or rear brakes with discs, etc. However I am able to put on new front pads and rear shoes, and perhaps have the front rotors turned if need be. So I guess what I am looking for is some recommendations on what materials I might use to give good braking with reasonable pedal effort. I do my racing on a track in my other cars and am *not *looking to equip the Healey with rock hard pads/shoes. I merely want to improve the car's braking so I do not have to stand on the pedal to get the car to stop.

You will not be able to clean them completely free of oil. You also have replaced the font brake pads recently. Did you use the original compound/make/type? These days EBC Greenstuff is widely suggested as a good modern replacement in older cars. If you use Girling/Lockheed/Don/Mintex/etc. or equivalent pads you probably should not use the *H*ard compound but the *M*edium compound, preferably NOS asbestos containing ones if you can get hold of them. Glazing of the discs could be a sign that the brakes are slightly binding or that you are very gentle when braking. Brakes should be used hard once in a while to clean the pads and discs and to prevent the pistons getting stuck.
