[A Type Overdrive oil leak]

This is all good info guys

i'm fairly sure its the gasket/bolt combination,

o rings would be great but outside my scope

 

i'll check all the other ideas and let you know how i get on (but don't hold your breath)

 

Thanks to you all

 

[A Type Overdrive oil leak]

The Solenoid mount side plate of my overdrive still leaks, even after ensuring the plate was flat, fitting a new gasket and smothering both sides with Hylomar

 

Thicker gasket, silicon sealing compound .....?

 

Anyone faced this and solved the problem with a 'cunning plan' all ideas gratefully received

you could also check if you've got worn steering column bushes ( a lovely job if required)

Any one out there who can answer a simple question?

When refitting my steering rack with new poly bushes, do i push the U bolt mounting brackets outwards (apart) or pull them inwards (together) to pre tension the bushes?

cheers

Thanks to all who have replied - what an excellent place to come for help.

I will be removing the head this weekend to see if it has caused any other damage (fingers crossed it has not!) and I will be checking all the above to ensure it does not happen again.

As to the source of the car, yes it came from a dealer and I will be speaking with them (no names --- yet).

I hope in time to be able to return the advice

Many thanks

HELP!

I have recently obtained my pride and joy a TR6. New owner, nosiy tappets, obvious job - adjust them!

Taking great care set to 0.010" using method in Haynes.

Start engine, nice and quiet until - BANG - number 8 rocker breaks ******

Don't know for sure, but think it has a non standard cam - silly question could this require larger gap?

Engine number on block removed and now only reads 'MV5' anybody any clues?
