Re: Piston Rings
I've had engines that seemed far harder to turn over than that.........there is a fair bit of drag with rings and bearings. I usually check the turn resistance after every addition. That way you can...

View ArticleRe: [stag] Removing overdrive on 3rd
Just personal preference. I had a Jaguar that had it on 4th only and liked it. I NEVER use Odrive on 3rd. Plus the chance that if you leave it in 3rd Odrive and shift down to 2nd is like going from...

One thing I've learned in my 40 years of classic car restoration is; I don't know everything. I will certainly try to sealant injection and see what happens! Thanks to all who replied. Brian

Wayne is spot on with the above. It is hard to "feel" what is right if you haven't felt a bad one before. Basically all that goes wrong with them is they get loose. They really are a compromise and...

PS - DON"T lock it up so it always runs - not designed for it. So called experts did that with my Jaguar to address overheating (??) so I had a steel fan running at 5,000 rpm which was just dangerous...

The first engine I rebuilt (in great ignorance) was a lazy old Holden 138. I replaced the piston rings with std but didn't know to measure the gaps. Certainly didn't try turning over by hand. When it...
