Another technique to help the "reserve" is to install an overflow recovery tank that ensures you start off with a full header tank. This is a relatively simple project and works well.

I am a bit of a temp nut. On my BJ8, display via multiplexed switches :

WT - Smiths std gauge

OT- oil temp at filter

EC - engine compartment near carb intakes

TH - top hose water temp

Input ambient to rad and cockpit temps just for interest.

5 Blade TX fan; oil cooler; EWP electric water pump - manually switched; 160F thermostat - agree with Michael above; rad recovery. As per Harold have 2 x 3/16 holes in thermostat; AL finned sump.

Most interesting observations are:

Oil takes longer than we think to get close to operating temp at least 30 min but depends on ambient.Often long after the stat. opens

TH is generally 10F lower than the WT reading

EC and OT rise rapidly when no airflow as MS describes. rg thinks that we under estimate the cooling effect of cruising airflow on the actual engine block surface. Airflow is somewhat limited as a big chunk of metal obstructs and no easy exit. Often wondered if an extractor fan would help - hence the louvres on the hood and sides to get the hot air out for competition cars. My car runs badly when EC is above 155F - becomes too rich for the inlet air.

Use the EWP when approaching traffic as above - does not reduce temp, but seems to prevent further increases. Important to anticipate. EWP is really good for controlling heat soak after cutting the engine.

Recently removed an electric rad pusher fan as no real benefit and an obstruction to incoming air. Rad inlet deflectors are important

Hi ambient of course is a big factor for rad and block cooling.

Monitoring OT is very useful and easy to relate to when driving.

On those occasions when I do drive in cooler temperatures the temperature usually reaches 75 - 80 degrees C (167 - 176 F) even without a thermostat although the warm up is a little slower. 

The advantage of running at this cooler temperature is that the system seems to have a larger "reserve" when the above traffic problems occur.

I found that the indicated temperature (which is accurate), runs 5 degrees C  higher even when using a 165 degree bellows or wax pellet type thermostat. I suspect this is due to the slight restriction even when the thermostat is fully open.

Message-ID: <CAKh-oiF2zCe49FDRUmuttVW0yLr0tdxng72gm64uEUb=MuYm+w@mail.gmail.com>

I've reluctantly decided to sell my 1967 Healey BJ8. I bought it new
in August 1967 in San Antonio and have driven it continuously but
sparingly ever since- under 90000 miles. I'm curious to hear
recommendations on the best places and methods to sell it. It's
basically an all original well maintained red/black- black car, runs
and drives well.  I'm just getting too old to keep up with it and it
will be too big a hole to bury me in it.
Thanks for any ideas,
George Vernau
Houston, TX

Hi George, I recently reached the same conclusion as you - it's a big
change!

Posting here amongst the Healey family is probably a good start. Maybe you
can provide some details on condition, timing and price.

I've also found the local and national club magazines to be good places to
advertise.

Message-ID: <CALPtYiM=btWm_L-Rdq=01-cONkpf40XR7tG-Mfh1AEJFYiTLaw@mail.gmail.com>

Looking for some pearls of wisdom from the more experienced among us. Very
frustrating as the car runs so well with good oil pressure and compression.
After many months of tests and checking have established that the block on
my BJ8 has the porosity issue. This is not the well known oil into water
but water into oil. (after 1000 mi, 3300ppm into oil) I did find an area
behind the center tappet cover where water was oozing into the drain back
from the rocker. Did my best to repair it with epoxy from the outside. No
doubt it is leaking there or some place else. Fellow lister Wayne Schultz
had the identical problem.
My query is if there is a known solution to this problem ? resin
impregnation ? or maybe a modern treatment ?
Also have located some replacement blocks but how to test ? and be assured
that these old blocks also don't develop the same problem ?
Changing blocks invariably means a complete engine rebuild.
How common is this ?
All very painful.

Hi Roger -

I almost hate to suggest this, but have you tried stop leak / aluma seal?
It works very well, just the trick is to make sure you flush the cooling
system out and replace with fresh coolant after the leaking has stopped (to
prevent the leftover stop leak from plugging other stuff up over time.

Best,

Alan

I just had to put a new head on one of my tractors. With the new head I 
had a small coolant leak at the back; my mechanic would have checked the 
new head for flatness, but it leaked with the old head so I assume the 
block isn't flat (of course I used a new gasket and the sealant Norman 
Nock recommended for 100 heads). Anyway, I had the 'opportunity' to try 
several of the sealants, the one the finally worked--for the time 
being--was this one (Blue Devil didn't work):

Message-ID: <CAKjtSfiLvPXxt7OvBNVWpMpuSivhM3jGyYG-evNxCiue3HCWhA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Roger, my friend's  Healey with the Porosity problem, as we talked
about a while ago, was behind the middle tappet access cover. His leak was
at the raised boss with the threads for the tappet cover mount bolt. His
engine would only drip when cold. When the block warmed up it did not leak.
Slight heat expansion of the block was enough to stop the leak. At the end
of the day I fell back to my Jaguar servicing in the Seventies when they
said to add Bar's Stop leak when changing the coolant on their V12 engines.
Following the instructions I warmed the engine with the Bar's and fresh
coolant. As the engine cooled I used my cooling system pressure system
tester and Pressurized  the system to 15 PSI and let it sit for 24 hours.
My logic was as the engine cooled and the porosity  started to open  the
Bar's coolant mixture would be forced into the leak. It seemed to work
because he enjoyed the car for several seasons with no issues. I instructed
him to change the oil every spring in the event of a slight leak over
Winter. We never saw any more Yellow gunk on the dipstick or on the oil
filler cap.   I will caveat that Bar's stop leak from  1970 is probably
much different then what is sold now.  Hoping this might help others. I
found the leak when I removed his oil pan and saw the dribble down the
inside of the block into the oil pan area.

MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG - OIL SUMP
<https://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk/MAGNETIC-DRAIN-PLUG---OIL-SUMP-id5724.aspx>

 Hi,
I have just ordered one of these rather on the "why not, can't do any harm"
basis. My question is rather along the lines of "is this thing designed to
solve a problem that doesn't exist?" ie doesn't the oil filter catch all the
little bits while the big bits sink into the primordial ooze at the bottom
of the sump? I, for example, having a PBR servo and a modern starter have
room for a vast spin-on oil filter down there which could catch most
things.....

And my hope is that it has a regular size AF bolt head rather than the
oddity on the factory fitted one? Does anybody have any input on that?

Have these things been around forever and I've just never come across them
or are they quite new?

Simon

Yes, they have been around forever.  Race cars almost always use a magnetic plug because if there is any steel flowing around in the oil we want to see it. A magnetic plug will usually catch some of that and it can be readily observed when the plug is removed for an oil change.

Is it necessary?  No.   Is it nice to have?  The better question is:  Do you care?

I agree with Richard with respect to engine drain plugs although I always
install them myself.
The same is not the case with gearboxes. Because of the abuse meted out to
the unsyncronized 1st and reverse gears in Healey boxes chips of hardened
steel frequently circulate within the gearbox oil and invariably eventually
find their way into the laygear needle roller bearings upon which they
wreak havoc. The overdrive units originally featured magnets at the drain
plug but even if these are in place, as they frequently aren't,  they don't
seem to gather up all those chips quickly enough.
Installing a rare earth magnet on the gearbox drain plug is a very
worthwhile exercise.

Wayne - thank you.
Interesting that your friend's and my block leak at exactly the same spot
behind the center tappet cover. I wonder how many other blocks are out
there that also leak with unsuspecting users ?
When you had the pan off was this the only water drip that you could see ?
How were you able to confirm that the leak had been repaired by your
peening and epoxy ?

I used the same technique to do a repair.  Recently (800mi since repair)
opened the tappet cover again and there was no evidence of any water with
coolant at 12 psi.  Am a bit lazy to remove the sump to check but may have
to. I used Barrs when I first discovered the creamy goo - thinking it might
be a head gasket - this was before you put me onto the block porosity leak.
There is just no evidence of the creamy oil/water emulsion at any place.
However what disturbs me is that oil lab tests show water content above
their flag level. Been running with no glycol. Have a fluorescent dye in
the coolant as well. Losing a little coolant.
Any idea how much run time for the creamy emulsion to appear ?
Have also discovered that the ceramic block repair additives are not safe
to mix with the oil and could damage the bearings.

Last resort is a replacement block - grrr !

Subject: [Healeys] Block porosity
Message-ID: <001501db64e6$8b42fb40$a1c8f1c0$@btinternet.com>

When I rebuilt an engine which had been standing without water for forty
years, there was a huge amount of brown dust (rust) in the waterways.  I
therefore removed the core (freeze) plugs and all brass components (main oil
gallery plugs) and had the block dipped in I know not what, but it came back
looking like new.  Removed brass components since the fluid used destroys
brass.  It also destroys shell bearings, so new cam bearings required.

 

I knew about the Healey porosity problem but did not know if my block
suffered, so I had it vacuum impregnated with resin.  This process gets
resin into all surface defects, and eighteen months later when I had to
change a core plug, the inside of the block waterways were still like new -
no corrosion at all.  I believe that this was the best thing I did to my
block.

 

The vacuum impregnation process puts the clean block into a chamber which is
evacuated.  Resin is then allowed to enter, and is then drained out.  The
block is then placed in a 90 degree centigrade (194 F) water bath, which
cures the resin (resin cure temperature 60 degrees centigrade (140 F))  This
process was done twice, just to make sure.  This is a standard process for
castings in the UK to cure casting porosity or other defects such as
corrosion.

 

A possible alternative to a replacement block?

Hello

The history of Austin-Healeys in Cuba is very interesting with examples remaining fitted with different six-cylinder engines and gearboxes.

Pre-Castro the 100/6 was exported to Cuba in CKD (Completely Knocked Down) for local assembly using many local components.

There are also magnetic jackets that go around the exterior of engine
canister (spin-on) oil filters though you would not be able to
determine what if anything *additional *was collected by the magnet.
In any case I generally cut apart my oil filters and examine the filter
media for shiny bits of bearing surfaces.

Incredible display, especially the Healey Silverstone. And next time we curse our way through an especially tricky repair, imagine what it?s like for these Cuban owners with less parts access and less money for upkeep!

Hi, I?ve been to Cuba three times. Those old cars are great. They don?t all however stand a very close inspection. Seems like the owners usually (have to) take more pride in their cars? longevity than its appearance. Originality is out of the question by and large. Yes, they can do amazing things on a shoestring but the humidity is a killer. I doubt if those so-called ?Yank tanks? were designed to see out Batista let alone Che and the Castro brothers!! You see a lot of bodywork patched up with God knows what and then brush painted. I?ve hired a couple of them. You normally hire driver and car by the day??the one I liked most looked pretty good but the driver told me that it had the engine from a Chinese fishing boat! It was hugely underpowered but, what the hell, we had a good day out.
