Subject: Valve Stem Seals / Tach VS. OD Speed Check..!
Regarding seals, My machine shop uses the Teflon Umbrella type seals on
MGB HEads, they are a standard seal that they have, the top of the guides
get knurled to fit them, but then they used CHEVY Guides $ 5.00 and had to
shorten them anyway, so no big sweat on the knurling thing as they were on
the lathe anyway.., I guess a lathe,, I did have my head done 9 months
previous by another shop and the guy said not to worry about the seals
anyway, whats a little oil burn on startup, I tend to see that anyway,
even with seals on a fresh new engine...
I have gone so long on back roads without a speedometer I would like a
calibration refresher....
anyone out there with an OverDrive MGB can refresh me on what the MPH's
are at 3500, 4000, & 4500 Rpm in OVerdrive, I have pretty standard
diameter tires....
Thanks..
Jim Fink
