I guess I have a problem then! Tiny Tim the Race Spit has no leaks....Yet!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, The SCCA frowns on oil being dumped on the course!!! :) Joe

Do you watch Speedvision? I believe it was a Goodwood antique race that was on a couple weeks back, where they had a lot of the old 50's and 60's vintage racers on the track again, and one blew an o

Surprise! My 57 TR-3 leaks some oil!! I know you are all amazed at this <G> but I really would like some sage advice on replacing the Timing Chain Cover gasket. Just how much of a task is it? It real

It's a pain, but doable. I replaced my timing chain tensioner a few years ago, took me about a day (but my car has no hub extension). If you've still got the stock fan and hub extension, I probably

Just been there with my '66 TR-4A. This was a *big* job for the uninitiated, but so sweat for an strong, experienced mechanic - in my case, my Aussie friend from the day job - awesome to watch him w

Hi listers, Before you get on my case, I know that our cars leak oil....some more than others, but I just finished rebuilding this engine and tranny for my 60 TR3 and I have this annoying leak in the

Faced with a similar dilemma, I drained the oil, cleaned the area thoroughly with solvent, and then "buttered" the outside of the leaking seam with a thick layer of RTV (silicone gasket maker). I fo

Aircraft Spruce and Specialty has most everything you need to fit up an oil gauge, including plastic line and fittings that will go on the 1/8 BSP ports. You'll probably have to stack up an adapter t
