Hi Johnny TR6 Try to see your picture (180 degrees opposite your finger). Is there a beginning fracture? Cheers Tage

I have had the oil pan off for changing the thrust washers. Now I have a leak at the sump-gasket. It looks like it is in front and at the back. I have used well-seal on both sides of the new sump-gasket. Is it possible that the leak is around some of the bolt-heads, especially those at the front and at the back. And another thing: Now I have a higher oil-pressure than before. At start up it is around 6 kg/cm2 at tick-over and when warm it is almost 5 kg/cm2 at tick-over. That is all about 1 kg/cm2 more than before. I always used Penrite 20-50 oil but have now cha

Hi Mick Thanks for your reply. I have now taken off the rocker-shaft and removed all the rockers and cleaned everything. And at rocker no. 9 there still was dirt in the little hole. So after the cleaning there now comes oil out the holes on all the rockers. So problem solved. Cheers Tage

Hi all I have a question about the rocker arms. In one of the rocker arms (no 9 seen from front) there does not come oil out of the little hole on top of the rocker arm. There seams to be oil on the side of the rocker arm and on the axle. Is it a problem that there does not come eoil out of the hole on top of the rocker arm? I have checked with a thin thread that the hole is free from dirt. Cheers Tage

Hi John Thanks for Your information. Very helpful. Yes I am measuring the end float with the dial gauge attached to the cylinder block. Because I have the gearbox out of the car for a rebuild I make the measurement on the fly-wheel-side, but that should be ok as far as the dial gauge is firmly attached to the cylinder block.

I have now a reading of 0.005 inch (0,12 mm). What do You think? I hope that someone can tell me the torque of the main bearing bolts and the sump bolts?

I measure in inches. And I measured 0.018 inch. It shoud be within 0.006-0.008 of an inch. I have now used 0.015 oversize and that gives an end play of 0.012. Still too much and I await some oversize 0.020 and 0.025 and can hopefullyu combine so that i come in the range of 0.006-0.008. I have time to experiment cause I am waiting for my rebuilt gearbox. Can someone tell me the torque for the main bearing cap-bolts and the torque for the sump-bolts?

Hi all I have the gearbox out for rebuild and took the possibility to check the crankshaft end float. The dialgauge showed 0.018 end float. What do youi think? Cheers Tage
