On the SU setup, that hose connects to ports on the carbs so that the crankcase gases can be directed into the combustion chambers. I suppose you might be able to connect it to the intake manifold th

Well, lessee, in an overdrive friction clutch, isn't the oil under shear forces? And the oil is at high pressure in the overdrive when it's engaged. Isn't that good? I've been using 20W-50 in MGB ove

Air compressor oil is easier to find around here than non-detergent motor oil. It's funny, when I first installed my OD tranny, the rear seal leaked. I replaced the seal, not the 20W-50 oil. No leak

I guess you'll have to ask yourself how likely you are to pull the radiator, pulleys, & etc, to change the cam timing after you have it running again. Methinks you can buy quite a few keys for $200.
