Just google ?Phillips Point West Palm Beach?. Geoff was a frequent visitor of course as many of the Healey and Sprite Sebring Race cars of the time were prepped there. Geoff loved to fish so I took him out in the ocean several times on the corporate boat, a 36? Chris-Craft sport fisher aptly named ?BMC?. We had company cars such as Austin Princess, etc. When BMC went away, Ed was involved with starting Suburu and Excalibur among his many ventures including being a multi engine airplane pilot which his son still does, alberwith a different plane.

M On Fri., Apr. 29, 2022, 9:22 a.m. S and T Miller via Healeys, > wrote: Hoping to validate my decision before buttoning things up on my 100 engine. Ordered .020 over standard (not 100M) piston set from Moss. Piston is a 4 ring piston, but came with 5 rings. They were identified where each ring should be fitted #1-5, with #4 (3 piece oil control ring), and #5 (one piece oil control ring). Obviously not a groove for #5. Ring set was marked 100/100M, so I'm assuming they send the same set for both and you just leave off the #5 (one piece oil control ring) on the 100 pistons. This is what I decided to do. Now Moss's 4 ring set on the website shows the three upper rings and the #4 ring being the 3 piece oil control ring reinforcing the thought that the #5 (one piece ring) should be disregarded. Called Moss Tech support and after a week they got back to me and said that he didn't know the answer, and they would get back to me. That was another week ago and still no answer. Also nothing is indicated in the piston directions. Thought I would check to see if anyone on the list ran across this?

This being subsequent to it frying its solenoid. I received a LOT of detailed suggestions and advice for which I am, as ever, very grateful. I thought that I'd bring you up to date with the issue which is, cross fingers, resolved. So..I was able to determine that it was not stuck in overdrive so that was a relief. I was further able to determine that I could set it by every means from a dial gauge, the drill bit, guesstimates, whatever. I'd set it and it would seem to be "just right". But when I got the engine running and the box in 3rd or 4th and running at +/- 500psi, it all went wrong. I tried everything, spent hours on it. Could NOT get the bloody thing to work. In the end, I took the gearbox out and lugged it up to OD Spares about 190 miles away. Not a huge distance, I know, but a PITA with our congested motorways. The deal was that they'd start on it as soon as I arrived, 08:30, and keep going until it was fixed. Dave - he's pretty much The Man on ODs over here - found two issues which, together, were causing the problem:- 1) The solenoid had an intermittent failure which was internal ie no amount of dicking around with the points could fix it. (Brand new, just out of the box). 2) More interestingly - and first time I've ever heard of this one - the pinch lever thingie that's hooked onto the solenoid's plunger and which turns the shaft.that could not be tightened up enough. What was happening was this.it would do the business when there was no pressure in the OD and I'd get it set. ie there was no resistance from the 500psi and the pinch was just tight enough. Then, under pressure, it would slip and not be able to move the rod that lifts the ball. Particularly when taken together, I think that's a sensible synopsis of what was going on. Dave said what we all know.that the new "Lucas" solenoids are not really Lucas at all..just made to look like Lucas. He gave me a used one out of stock, genuine article. And he swapped my new pinch lever thingie for an NOS. That last item was also brand new so you might look carefully at any new ones that you buy. May be a bad batch out there..Simple enough to fix it. Just run a hack saw through the split and make it a fraction wider. Anyhow, the box is still on the garage floor and I just hope it'll all work when I get it all back together. Simon Lachlan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When I was working on a BN1 rear hub a well-known supplier offered me Nylocs rather than the standard all-metal wheel nuts. I fitted the nuts and torqued up to the usual figure of about 65 pounds-feet. After some miles of running the hub extension became loose and started to work through the wheel studs. I managed to stop with only two studs remaining. I was lucky because I could have lost the whole wheel on a busy A road. After checking I realized that using Nyloc nuts torqued to the standard tightness was not right. I now, if I use them at all. fit the nuts and test what torque reading is used just to turn the nut loose on the wheel stud; it is about 20 pounds-feet in my case. I then add this torque measurement to give about 85 pounds-feet; 20 for the nut and 65 left to do the job as originally intended On Mon, 9 May 2022 at 17:02, Michael Salter wrote: > Yep Richard according to the parts books that's correct for 6 cylinder > cars. > As a matter of interest the late BN1's and BN2's ( 5 stud hub) use 8 plain > nuts but call for only 4 spring washers??

Bill, I think you are right on the button with your assumption. Half of the Nyloc nuts had little or no locking nylon and were visibly 'chewed', quite likely by a Neanderthal mechanic. Luckily I had good spares to replace them. Dusting off the shelves at the back of my memory banks I remembered I had an old rear axle in my loft. There were the nuts - in perfect condition - protected by decades of oily road film and dust - with no washers, as you had all told me.

Thus the redundant lock washers.

With the lock washer in place the top of the thread did not connect with the nylon - but it did with the washer removed. The parts book shows just the bolts and nuts. It does not show any washers. As the car was built in Hayward, CA, in the mid-seventies as a track car, there is much about it which is not standard. My questions are: 1. Are the Nyloc nuts correct and, if not, what should be there? 2. Is it correct to have no washers under the nuts? I would have though it correct to have at least a thin flat washer, even though the parts book appears to show none.

I find the spindle nearest the wiper motor is just short of the hole in the shroud. Not sure if it fit before the shroud was removed and put back on because the rack and motor was given to me as a used setup for the 100 complete. At least I think it is for a 100. Anyone tell me what a BN2 wiper motor looks like? The distance between the two spindles is correct. When I put the spindles in place in the two holes in the shroud the rack does not reach the wiper motor by 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I bought a complete new rack with spindles from the UK, but the tubing that connects to the wiper motor is a straight piece of tubing, not curved like the original one. I have not compared it to the original curved one for length, but I suspect it is short also. Short of trying to make one myself, are there any vendors that custom make the tubing in different lengths for the wiper rack?

Their website also had a downloadable guide which shows how all the parts hang together. You might be better off starting again with new components that you can design to fit. You would also get a nice two speed motor. Replacing the pull switch with a "pull, turn and pull again" switch like the lighting switch would provide a two position switch which would take the original wiper switch knob. Note I haven't done the above on my BN2, but I'm fairly sure SVC would be able to supply something that would work. They were very helpful a few years ago when I was building? a kit car.

Went to turn the engine over in the BN3. An early C-Series six-cylinder. Rebuilt about five years back, but seen next to no use. Solenoid clicks, but no movement from the engine. Must be the battery so charged it, but no change. Tried a brand new battery, but still no movement. Out comes the starter and connect it straight to the battery. Whirr away on the floor. Perhaps the original Lucas starter is breaking down under load? It occurs to me to try and turn the engine over by hand. Gearbox tunnels not fitted so easy to wield a large screwdriver to leaver the flywheel, after removing the spark plugs. It moves about six teeth of the ring gear, but no more. It moves back the same in the other direction, but no further. Soon lose interest in this manoeuvre. What's up? Why won't the engine turn over? Thinking cap on and perhaps it's something at the top of the engine such as valve gear. Perhaps there is a bent valve? Any opinions out there?

When we reassembled the drivetrain, I put a good, thick coat of Moss's 'Healey Engine Green' on all parts, painting the engine and gearbox/OD separately. Once we got the drivetrain in the car, and at least had a 'running' chassis I would drive it short distances, then the car was put on hold while Dad endured throat cancer treatment. I'm not sure when the problem started, but at some point the car became difficult to start at times; sometimes it would start right up--though I did think it cranked a bit slow--and others it would barely turn over, if at all. We charged the batteries repeatedly--one time Dad cross-wired the jumpers somehow and actually got a hydrogen gas explosion, only sheepishly only admitting 'It needed new batteries' (I got the whole story later)--but there was no improvement. Dad suspected we didn't have good connections on the battery/starter cable; we had to use oxy/acetylene to get what appeared to be good solder connections but, eventually, after Dad died, I pulled the starter and sent it to Mike Martinez at Star Auto Electric for a rebuild, but that didn't help either. My thinking on fasteners keeps evolving, but when I'd first fitted the starter to the engine backplate I'd used grade 8 flat washers under split washers, but at some point I decided to just use the split washers and, to my amazement it's cranked beautifully since then. Apparently, the thick coat of paint under the flat washers created enough resistance to hinder starter operation, and the sharp ends of the split washers pierced the paint and gave good ground. It's not surprising you can't move the starter ring much, if you're on the bottom of a compression stroke. TL;DR: check all your grounds. You might have some unseen corrosion from sitting.

Then with 2 or 3 friends pushing the car down the driveway to gain speed they will turn over. Sometimes they even start. Once we had to use more oil and push the car very slowly with another car several blocks as the engine frozen. Afterwards, it ran well. As your pistons move it should start easily. If it turns over with the starter afterward but, does not start you have more to do.

Then when starting, it is free to move without resistance. A good place to turn over the engine by hand is the crank pully nut using a socket and long bar. If too wide, use a big 1 -7/16 open wrench (spanner). You should be able to rotate it thru compression each stroke. If all that works. then I agree with everyone else that there is resistance or corrosion on the electrical connections. Don't know if the BN3 had a master switch but that is one source of issues. I find on my 100, 2-six volt connections, that the rear crossover cable helmet must be in perfect contact or it will click the solenoid. Yes, only two issue-one mechanical and the other electrical-hope for poor connections.

If they go partially out when you get the 'click' then the starter is receiving power. Then you can look for a jammed starter or an engine that will not turn. Occasionally starters will jam and that is why there is a square end under a pull-off cover that can be turned to release the jam. If it is a bad connection but not an open circuit then leave the 'click' on for a while you can then feel all the connections for bad contacts. They might be hot so be careful. Another check is, does the starter move and engages but does not turn the engine. This is hard to tell because it is hard to see. However, you can turn the starter back to make sure it is not engaged so that when you 'click' you will see the starter rotate. If the lights don't change then it might be a fault in the starter where the brushes have worn down too much. All this assumes that the battery is good and fully charged.

I?m having so much fun getting my ?66 AH 3000 BJ8 ready for Concours Judging in September. Have a few (maybe that is a bit understated) questions and directional help that I hope you can fill. Here goes: 1. Are the head of the bolts that fasten the rocker cover suppose to be engine green painted and if so, should I continue on the washers just below it? 2. Are the bolts that attach the hinges to the hood to be painted car color? 3. I have an after market battery (proper positive ground). Can I just spray paint it black ? or do I need to order a replace? 4. Any prior ?how to? on replacing my non-original steering wheel with the proper original will be helpful, especially if there are pictures (I am a ?freshman? on this travel). 5. Any suggestions on where I can purchase one little black wiper cap that secures the rubber wiper from sliding off? 6. Moss is back ordered on fuel (the silver braided) lines to come from the front carb. Trying to find where to replace. 7. Looking to replace the paper gasket that is under the small trunk hinge. Moss only has paper and it looks real cheap and also the paper color is tan and stands out a bit on my red AH. Any suggestions on where to get? 8. Any suggestions on where to find the seat belt fasteners that fasten to the rear sides. I presently have, but it only has one hole that fastens to the two hole/bolt set up. Or, since it is a safety issue, is anyone aware if the judges will accept the one hole fasten? 9. Is there a retired, or otherwise available, Concours judge that would be willing to give a look at my engine pics and give me some specific direction. Well, as I warned above, this may be a bit more than a ?few?. Any help will be greatly appreciated, welcomed and cherished.

More on that later. So, with the gearbox on the floor for seemingly the 100th time, I have access to the rear of the block. I was wondering about replacing the 3 core plugs that become +/- accessible when the box is out. I've done a few in my time and find it a bore but doable. So, the question is this:- Do these plugs rust out from the inside or the outside? These plugs look perfect.no rust, no drips etcetc. Seems a pity to mess around with them unless they typically can look fine from the outside but be rotting from inside. ie a disaster waiting to happen. I keep my coolant clean, nice and blue so I don't theenk they're suspect from within. But what do I know?!? You may recall that, the first time I took the box out for OD reasons, I elected to put in a new clutch. Because I could, because it was right there in front of me. And look where that got me! 3 times or so we put the box back in only to discover that the kit was faulty......So, I'm a bit cautious.

It remains a mystery. I had an AH owning mechanic here today to trying a work out what's happening with the engine of the BN3. Plugs are out as is the starter. By putting a mark on the harmonic balancer and the use of a large screwdriver we found out that the engine will turn a quarter turn and back the other way a quarter turn before it stops solid. So it will be a process of elimination starting with an endoscope in a few days. The radiator has been removed (no mean feat as it comes out via the grille opening) to gain access to the crankshaft nut and timing cover. Will keep you informed.

Went to turn the engine over in the BN3. An early C-Series six-cylinder. Rebuilt about five years back, but seen next to no use. Solenoid clicks, but no movement from the engine. Must be the battery so charged it, but no change. Tried a brand new battery, but still no movement. Out comes the starter and connect it straight to the battery. Whirr away on the floor. Perhaps the original Lucas starter is breaking down under load? It occurs to me to try and turn the engine over by hand. Gearbox tunnels not fitted so easy to wield a large screwdriver to leaver the flywheel, after removing the spark plugs. It moves about six teeth of the ring gear, but no more. It moves back the same in the other direction, but no further. Soon lose interest in this manoeuvre. What's up? Why won't the engine turn over?

I think there?s a lot of merit to the idea that using ezibleed can introduce air into the system when pouring fluid into the ezibleed reservoir. I now don?t put fluid in there and just make sure I top up the main reservoir often - I think thats a better way to reduce the chance of air getting in the fluid. One other very nice side benefit of an old fashioned pedal bleed - you waste much less brake fluid? and also get to spend time with your son making him do manual labor.

The pitch is 28 TPI and the major diameter at the top is 0.402? and 0.372? at the bottom. The measured taper is very close to the 16:1 for BSPT. These measurements fit very closely to a 1/8? BSPT except the measured major diameter is more than the 0.383? listed for BSPT. The hole in the block is tapered as well. I will check the threads in the block to see if they are clean and in good shape. I am quite sure these are original parts, are there some other obsolete British tapered fittings slightly larger than BSPT? Whatever size this fitting is it won?t be easily replaced or repair and I will be very careful with it.

However, as for the history of the car and/or its engine, the BJ8 Registry may be able to help. As of today, the registry documents the details and ownership history of 55% of total BJ8 production (9,742 of 17,712 cars built). I have acquired many historical documents with such data. Tell me the VIN of the car and I?ll tell you if I have any history for it. Of course, without a serial number there is no identification of the engine.

I chamfered the jet side holes so not to tear the "upgraded" o-rings but still seeps fuel. Tried three sets with with no success. Also the jet bearing doesn't seem to stay centered and it's easy to move the jet assembly around from underneath. I stretched out the old gland springs and that seemed to help, so I installed new gland springs and still not great. Thinking of stretching out the new gland springs and use new oil soaked cork seals, as original. Thoughts?

This is a two-piece item with the pulley separate from the hub. The later damper with integral pulley is effective from engine 29K/RU/H10272 and up. My BJ8 engine is 29K/RU/H11327 and it has the later integral damper. It has a different configuration on the front to the damper shown in Harold?s photo. I don?t believe his damper is from a BJ8.

I was looking to rebuild the unit, not because there?s anything wrong with it, but it's been in active service a long time, and I really don?t want to find out it?s failed the hard way. I use Dot 5 silicone fluid (please let?s not get into that controversy again!), and it would not be very good if that got sucked in to the engine via the manifold. Anyway, I wonder if anyone out there has rebuilt one of these units. I?ve attached a couple of photos - one of the opened unit, and a close up of the end of the shaft that goes into the cylinder bore. I?m really not sure of how to release this gizmo?and I don?t want to bugger it up, of course. I will probably end up phoning the supplier in Australia (I?m in Canada), but I thought I?d check with the list first.

There should be a hole in the pushrod shaft somewhere, where you can place a small diameter screwdriver or punch then hold the pushrod still while you unscrew the diaphragm collar. I could be wrong but I think that's how it is done on the PBR. On the Delphi/Lockheed unit you peel back the diaphragm and theres a metal sleeve that you pull out... works very different to the PBR.
