182. Re: Roller Throw Out Bearings (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 10:16:29 EDT; Real world - a friend sold carbon faced bearings for 30 years and never had a come-back. He sold a few roller bearings and had a very high rate of come-backs. Short answer - why bother? The carbon fa; /html/mgs/2003-08/msg00159.html (8,418 bytes)

I need to replace some 185 x 70 15" on 5.5" wire wheels on the MGC, and there doesn't seem to be much out there. Bill /// or try http://www.team.net/cg; /html/mgs/2003-08/msg00185.html (6,453 bytes)
186. Re: MGC Tires (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 09:43:27 EDT; Yes, the 165 x 15 are always an option. I wanted to find suitably rated tires, though. This particular MGC tops out around 130 mph, and while the chances of doing much high speed work is small, I hat; /html/mgs/2003-08/msg00188.html (7,728 bytes)

It is also fairly easy to improve the power. I use a sorted MGC with around 175 bhp and an honest 130 mph top end, and it i; /html/mgs/2003-08/msg00241.html (9,522 bytes)

194. Re: Why buy and MGC? (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 09:36:14 EDT; I disagree. First, the Healey put out 150 bhp. The MGC puts out 145 bhp, and it uses twin 1 3/4" carbs instead of twin 2" carbs - no big surprise. The engine also has additional main bearings which m; /html/mgs/2003-08/msg00326.html (7,883 bytes)
