As with any fluid flow the bulk of the fluid (air in this case) will go where the resistance is lower, which means anywhere except through the radiator core. Placing the fan against the core and sealing the edges in some way allows the fan to build enough head to force the bulk of the air through the core. I modified the cross braces on my car by cutting them loose from the upper bracket (two were already broken loose), bending them slightly forward from their bases and welding a sheetmetal angle to the upper brace to which I then re-weld the upper ends of the cross braces. This gave me an extra inch or so of clearance to allow the fans to be mounted to the front of the radiator. I used foam weatherstrips to seal the outer edges of the fan shrouds to the radiator core. The fans mounted side by side are wider than the radiator core so I fabricated blanking plates from alloy sheet and mounted them to the overlapping fan shrouds outboard of the core so that the fans can only blow through and not around the core. I thought that I had taken some pictures during the process, but I haven't been able to find them. I'm going to have to remove the grille to get any kind of pictures, but I'll try to do that tomorrow.

While driving, the coolant temp is about 190 degrees. Yes, when parked, there is expansion as you state; it will not boil over if the radiator is not overfilled.

Many older cars do thisBest to fit an overflow/expansion bottle or reservoir and an airtight seal on the rad cap. Fill up the radiator to the brim and the reservoi to about halfway. When the coolant gets hot or boils it will escape into the expansion reservoir. After cooling down the coolant will be drawn back into the radiator.

I cured the over heating by having an extra row added to my radiator. The only problem was I needed to shoe horn the radiator into the engine compartment. Now I rarely exceed normal operating temps, even in traffic on very hot days. Also can now run at high speeds for extended periods of time without over heating. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It looks like the design was changed sometime during the Mk II production or later. My car is a Mk I. The part I am looking for is No. 25 on the attached PDF. It is not available from the "usual suspects" on either sides of the pond. Does anyone know a source? I can make the part but would like to have a sketch to work from. I am fine with used parts in reasonable shape as well. Any assistance is appreciated. Harold 1960 BT7 Mk1 PS - A significant contributor to over heating when slowing down after a long drive is the lower water flow generated by the water pump. Lets face it the the AH cooling system is marginal and there is no magic solution. Best practise says use a water and antifreeze mixture, make sure there are no restrictions in the radiator (tubes starting to plug), drill a 1/16" hole in the thermostat to help eliminate any trapped air, add a coolant overflow with the right cap to maximize water in the system, use a 5 or 6 blade fan and keep all of the shrouding in place. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The lower hole is the size of the manifold stud. The top hole is where the real clip, the clip that actually holds the capillary tube, fits into. It is smaller than the stud hole. Can't tell you precisely here, but the size is critical to hold the small clip securely. The clip I am referring to is very similar to the clip that holds the slave cylinder clutch hydraulic line to the right side footwell, in the vertical position.

The only downside are the caps that are supplied with the kit. Older kits had weak aluminium or thin plated steel caps that did not hold well and could fly of the brake fluid reservoir. I think they improved on that nowadays. That is why I used? modified original caps for some of the cars I have had.

Starting at about 10 degrees lower gives me more headroom. The added volume of oil allows for, I am assuming, a bit more dissipation of heat as well. That said, I still do all I can to avoid freeway congestion when it is above 90; I prefer to use surface streets where I can vary my route and at least have some recover between stoplights. I also find that when stopped, running at about 1700-1800 rpm moves a lot more air (I have a 6-blade tropical fan) which helps buy me more time. Or I avoid driving altogether under those conditions, as they are not much fun on the driver either!

The temperature capillary tube is not fastened to mounting brackets for this lower pipe as it is with the higher pipe on later cars (starting with 29E engines). Rather, the tube was attached using the brackets in the attachment Harold sent, clipped on the inboard side, toward the rocker cover. I believe the clips in the photo below were used for both capillary tube mounting styles.

Can't tell you precisely here, but the size is critical to hold the small clip securely.

Best practise says use a water and antifreeze mixture, make sure there are no restrictions in the radiator (tubes starting to plug), drill a 1/16" hole in the thermostat to help eliminate any trapped air, add a coolant overflow with the right cap to maximize water in the system, use a 5 or 6 blade fan and keep all of the shrouding in place. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive Healeys at autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/boyracer466 at gmail.com _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive Healeys at autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter at gmail.com _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive Healeys at autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/eyera3000 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On the right is the assembly of the fans.They are attached to the radiator core behind the cross bracing. Note the added sheetmetal angle I used to land the tops of the cross braces and the slight bend from the bottoms of the braces that gave me an extra inch to work with. The shiny highlights toward the outsides of the fan shrouds are the aluminum blanking plates that close off the edges of the fans and direct all of the air through the core. On the left is the finished assembly. The fans are thermostatically controlled to come on when the coolant temp reaches 195 F. They shut off when the temp drops to 185. They will maintain 195 or below when idling in 100 F ambient temps at 5000 feet of altitude. Probably better at lower altitudes due to higher air density. I am running a stock dynamo with a gel cell battery and so far have not had a problem with power capacity. The fans are powered through a relay and each is fused separately. The controller has bypass wire that is normally attached to the AC system to power the fans while it is running. I wired that in as a manual switch leg, but have never used it. I had worried that the fans and shrouds ahead of the radiator core would impede the flow of air while the car was moving. That doesn't seem to be the case as the fans rarely come on while the car is moving and then only when at lower speed and climbing. The fans always come on after a run when the engine goes back to idle and excess heat begins to soak out of the engine, but that its normal. I also added a coolant recovery tank to keep the radiator full and that seems to be working. In the process I eliminated the mechanical fan from the engine and installed narrower pullys/belt sourced from a 6 cylinder engine altogether these have reduced the power lost through the (mostly ineffective) cast alloy fan and reduced engine vibration.

I prefer to have excess cooling capacity rather than just enough. It allows for a bit of lost efficiency as the system ages. I don't have AC on the car, but the thermostat kit I used is set up for it. I merely utilized the extra feature as a manual switch leg. I think I'll keep both fans as they maintain air flow over the whole surface of the core and only run when the temp rises. I haven't had any issues with the load on the dynamo, but if I do at some point I have the options of replacing it with a higher capacity unit or switching to an alternator. At this point I don't want to fix it if it's not broken.

It has two wires, probably red and black. Most likely the red wire should be connected to the positive feed, black to earth. Use a thermoswitch controlled relay to switch the fan on and of. Check if the fan is rotating the correct way. if not change over the two wires. Kees Oudesluijs Op 10-11-2019 om 13:38 schreef simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com: > > Hi Experts, > > I have a 3000.

Usually one can adjust the slave cylinder by shimming. Sometimes by clamping. Other causes could be wear in the pivots/bushings of the clutch arm or a hydraulic leak/problem.

It would make sense that the float would be oriented so that its over the deeper section of the gas tank sump but the sump has a very small capacity, about a third of a gallon. Also with the geometry of the float drop and swing compared to the mounting flange in the top of the tank, it would appear that the float never gets to the deepest part of the sump anyway before hitting the bottom of the tank. At that point the sender will tell the gauge that the tank is empty. No conclusion to this issue but had fun looking into stinky old tanks this morning.

That being said the direction, and therefore the flow of the fan can be reversed by switching the wires. For best results you may also want to remove the fan blade assembly and turn it around on the shaft since most of the newer fans use a backward curved blade design for optimum efficiency.

The blades are designed to provide highest efficiency when turning in one direction with relation to the air flow. The blades are airfoils and use Bernoulli's principles to move air and build static pressure. An aircraft wing doesn't produce much lift if it is flying backwards. You can still move air if the blade is turning in the wrong direction, but it won't be nearly as efficient.

Once it heats up, it stays hot. The shields can be restored it they are in good shape. They can be painted with a high temperature white paint that is available at auto parts stores. Asbestos is a danger only if it is friable (emitting dust). Painting the heat shields encapsulates the asbestos. This is a common remedial method that is used in construction when asbestos is found and not abated. John Spaur '62 BT7 with original heat shields.

See:- "I imagine that, if I reverse the wires, the fan will run the other way. That's all very well..goes round and round but will, in effect, be pulling the air rather than pushing. Which is useless. Is there a solution?" Looking at the photos, it seemed to me that the blades had a particular shape and that it was not symmetrical one side to the other. So I sort of assumed that reversing the direction would not be the whole solution. Whilst I should like to be sure of this before I commit to a fan, it does seem that the blades have that very particular design for a reason. Of course, when/if I buy the fan, it may not be physically possible to reverse the blades! Keep it coming!

To make room for the puller fan you usually have to remove the fixed fan, depending on the design (thickness) of the fan assembly. Direction of rotation can be changed by changing over the two wires on the fan. In some cases the fan can be reversed on the spindle to make it both puller and pusher. Fan blades are often not symmetrically distributed on the hub to prevent resonances and thus noise.

Short article and two videos. The first video is mainly shots of folks getting ready for movie takes. Little audio, but interesting to see the different camera angles. The second video is more car oriented. Showing the set ups they used to get the shots of the racers, "racing", stuff like that. But in that video there is a shot I have never seen before and it's worth the watch, a Ferrari being shot out of a cannon! It's way cool and makes me want to see the movie even more.

I have seen stamped rod caps (between the bolt holes) with common numbers i.e. ?66? and sometimes a separate number, i.e. ?+16? when dismantling an engine. Sometimes the numbers are all different. Suspect that the numbers are related to the original engine builder grabbing 6 piston and rod assemblies out of a bin that have to fall into the manufacturers criteria for weight. Last original engine was assembled more than 50 years ago, and I have never been able to discuss this with any of the English old timers. Back to my ?first question.? Engine rebuilders sometimes stamp all kinds of info on the engine bits they used on a rebuild. That can really mess with trying to figure out what the numbers mean.

I have similar on my BJ8, which I overhauled a couple years ago.? The gaskets I purchased from Moss were much thicker--I didn't measure them, but I recall thinking they were between 1/8" and 1/4"--than the ones in your photo, and they looked like cork impregnated with something (looked like rubber, but that can't be, can it?).? Seeing that Moss charges almost $5 for the thin gaskets in your photo, stacking 3-4ea in each 'gap' would amount to a ridiculous amount of money for them.? When I rebuilt my engine a long time ago, the gaskets kinda disintegrated over time anyway, and I didn't see any ill effect.? In a V-type engine (6 or 8) with a carburettor, hot coolant gets circulated around the base of the carburetter to offset 'carb icing' due to the cooling effect of the fuel being vaporized (my dad's '55 T-Bird has a flapper valve that gates hot exhaust gas to the carb, and is supposed to shut off when the engine gets hot but I doubt it works properly after all these years).? Anyway, the intake manifold is stacked on the exhaust because 1) the exhaust manifold heats the intake to offset the evaporative cooling effect and 2) that's the only place it can go (unless you have a 'cross-flow' head design, like on the 100S engine).?? I can only guess the gasket is there to somehow modulate the heating effect but, since it's just a damn gasket there isn't much it can do. I'd call Tom Monaco at Tom's Import Toys and ask him.? He's a Moss reseller--at a 10% discount--and may have a (very colorful) explanation.? Otherwise, check around and see if anybody has the 'proper' thick gasket and, if not, you can either pay Moss' ransom or do without them.

It is always a bit "hit and miss". It is why the receptor has a conical shape. Using this method is a very good way to start, but final small corrections may be needed.

My choke cable is extremely difficult to pull out, it takes both hands on the knob to move the knob out far enough to activate the chokes. What is the best/easy way to access the old cable for removal? I have a new choke cable to install but how do I route the new cable around behind the dash so there are no kinks (I suspect that is my current problem) and to avoid the heater/defroster hoses and anything else which may be in the way. I would like to get the new cable in so that it works smoothly and with just one hand. Should I use grease or graphite on the cable to help? Ideas? "I did it this way and it worked great." Tips and tricks? 2. A couple of months ago, I had an issue with my downpipes that came loose from the exhaust manifold. On the down pipes, I removed the brass nuts and split washers and replaced them with new stuff. Upon close inspection, I now find that the intake and exhaust manifolds have also worked loose from the head. However, on the manifolds, there is a flat washer against the manifolds, then a split washer and then the brass nut. Which is the correct method of assembly; flat washer then split washer and brass nut, no split washer or no flat washer. Should the downpipes be bolted together the same as the exhaust/intake manifolds to the head? What is causing these exhaust parts to come loose and what do I do to prevent this from happening? What is the thinking of those who have rebuilt engines and what has worked? Thanks for the collective wisdom here.

When the oil is hot it is thin and drains away from the bearings, hence the noise with a hot engine and a restart after a few minutes. As it disappears as soon there is oil pressure I would not worry to much. You could try Lucas oil stabilizer and see if there is any difference.

Also the way the cylinders have been reassembled in the past may be the cause. If they have been assembled using clean brake fluid instead of the special Girling/Lockheed/At? grease for assembling brake cylinders the chance is that the cylinder walls and/or pistons are corroded causing the leak.

I've used it and it is just as good as the liquid stuff. I cleaned up excess contact cement with plain old paint thinner. Works well and doesn't seem to effect vinyl or leather dyes. Re: flammability vs toxicity: Gasoline, especially as formulated currently has as many toxic effects as most contact adhesives. In addition the contact adhesive containers carry a warning to users to turn off gas mains before using it. Of course both hazards are dependent on the amount of material being used and the concentration of solvents in the breating zone. A little common sense will serve to keep you safe from both factors. California legislation is living proof that anything worth doing is worth over-doing.

I can go a couple blocks down the street and buy as much of a highly flammable--in fact, explosive--compound called 'gasoline' and put it in my vehicles with no (unreasonable) restrictions. Shame on California for trying to limit/reduce the amount of highly toxic/carcinogenic chemicals in the air we all have to breathe. Shame shame shame.

The California version is not worth your time. I had to buy out of state through Amazon to get the more flammable (but works) version that the People's Democratic Republic of California is protecting us from. I used it for the saddlebags on my Harley Davidson. They are an all leather construction and tend to "deflate" over a short amount of time. Looks terrible. Through a club affiliation I got shaped double thick hard leather inserts for the front and back sides. In the instructions it was recommended the non-California version of Weldwood Contact Cement. It has held fast since 2003. In the pictures you can see what happens to the bag over time and what it should look like (my bike). Actually comes nice from the factory, but leather does not keep it's shape very well.

Hello Currently there is a BN2 sharing garage space in my barn with the BN3 and the Healey Duncan. Normally I can work through problems with the relatively simple auto electrical systems fitted to our Healeys and Austin-Healeys, but this one has me stumped. The indicators of the BN2 refuse to work so I have been head down, tail up trying to work it out. The RHD car is negative earth and apart from a modern plastic cased flasher can it?s quite standard. Now this is curious. Turn on ignition and everything is fine with the fuel gauge reading half full. Switch on the left indicator which doesn?t work, but the fuel gauge needle drops to empty. Turn off indicator and after a second the fuel gauge needle goes back to half. Turn on right indicator and the same happens. I?m concerned that the smoke is going to escape!

Heat build-up wasn?t a problem since neither the brake lights nor turn indicator are illuminated for long periods. That is until one time returning from California Healey Week at some far-flung destination I drove for over an hour on the freeway with my left turn signal on. The heat from the bulb warped a nice dimple in the reflector lens. Now the halogens are long gone, replaced by LEDs, and the warped lens sits on my workbench as a reminder that it could have been much worse.

Kees Oudesluijs Op 26-11-2019 om 22:55 schreef Michael Oritt: I have been struggling with the removal/replacement of the halogen taillight bulbs on my car. I simply cannot get q good enough grip on the bulb to push/turn and remove it from the bayonet socket. Unlike later cars the glass lens on the 100 is almost flat, the bulb is straight with no shoulder and does not project very far beyond the surface of the receptacle. I'm sure there is a trick here--can anyone share it with me?
