    Marks inside rocker cover

    Opinion wanted. I did the valves this morning for the second time I ring the run in period of a new 1786 engine. A few were a bit loose this time but I also noticed marks on the rocker case as of the rocker arm for one cylinder has been hitting it. It’s also a little noisy on that side I...

    Wanted: Pre-heat pipe to tinware clamps

    They seem to be out of stock at all the big names. Does anyone have any they would sell? (Maybe you upgraded to twin carbs and don’t need them any more...?) Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    filings from running in................

    Just found something similar myself. Changing the oil for the first time after about 300 miles. A few small specs of metal in the bottom of the pan. The case was machined I guess as it is a 1786 CC engine. Did it resolve itself with later oil changes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Real engine seal - pictures?

    Yeah. Maybe but I tried two and they both did the same. I have a 123 tune distributor which has a temp sensor (surface reading) which reads a lot lower which makes me think something is off. Also my engine seems to be running nicely...it is hot over here right now (France) but I haven’t felt or...

    Real engine seal - pictures?

    Ok great. That’s the way I installed it. Seemed sorta like the logical way - as I say. Clutching at straws! I probably need to do a separate post for opinions on my heat troubles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Real engine seal - pictures?

    Hi I put a new engine in my bus a few weeks back. It since installing the engine I’ve found it seems to be running extremely hot (at least going by the newly installed temp sender - dipstick type). One thing I’m wondering about - as part of the install I put back the real seal which was...

    Storing tools in the engine bay?

    It suddenly struck me that this might not be the craziest place to shove a bunch of tools and spares. Has anyone ever done this? Have any smart storage tips or photos? I’ve got a leisure battery on the other side so would have to get a. It creative to use the space above that and round by the...

    LHD dash (for 68 bus)

    Nice! I found a cheapy on eBay - not quite sure what condition it’ll be in though. How much do you want for yours if you’re selling? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    gear change bushes

    Thanks for that guide - it helped a ton. As you say the back bush is basically impossible to get to (without bending something) but I managed to do the rest as you outlined. Added a quick shift at the same time and wow - its like a different bus! Feels almost...modern ;)

    gear change bushes

    Hi - thanks for posting this. I'm going to give this a go on Friday - according to the post linked above only some bushes can be changed with the gearbox on - did you manage to change them all?

    Wanted: M501 bench conversion kit

    Hey folks I know this are pretty rare but thought I'd post in case anyone has one lying around they'd be happy to part with. Bought a 67' turret top and am planning a long road trip with my wife and our newborn in the summer. Thinking we could stick the baby seat in the middle so we could all...
