norm, in 34 years of have seen a lot of failures. the most serious i will
list:
wheel came off and rolled down into florida swamp
o/d safety switch failed causing massive o/d rupture when reverse selected
tire exploded when coasting down long hill, beating the hell out of rear
fender
used wrong brake fluid on first healey, destroying complete hydraulic system,
including servo.
clutch pressure plate cracked in half for unknown reason.
brake caliper locked up on long downhill run, rotor turned blue and fluid
boiled before i could pull over.
four or five rotor failures, a couple of water pump failures, carb floats
sticking, starter bendix failure, and fuel filter plugups.
since i drive my car a lot, i do not consider most of the minor stuff as
anything other than normal maintenance. healeymanjim
