245nm =180 ft lbs sounds a bit high I would guess 170hp and 150 ft lbs is probably more realistic

Same jets, new float valves gaskets and set the floats to correct height

Someone please Photoshop a Winchester into that picture

Anything that's over 40 years of age becomes mot exempt the following April, The official line is that classic cars are better maintained, in reality there was a massive MOT data transfer a few years back and they couldn't be arsed to do all the older stuff ( most of which only exists in...

A bit of sunshine and all the s**t with the RAC is forgotten, I think it out cools the 240 this one.

Saudis have upped oil production based on the C10 usage

At some point in its life will have been, just not today edit, Dale does know you check it with the engine running, doesn't he ?

Probably goes a bit better with some fluid in the trans too

It ain't 1.08 a litre anymore

£1 = 1 mile 'ish you have to be a proper petrol head for this kinda stuff

Manual tensioner on the 172 cup, you should be able to turn the belt to 90 degrees on its longest run with two fingers if that makes sense

71' C10's were rated at 240hp ( when new ) so should be fine It'll be near the limit for full throttle pulls for prolonged periods but I don't think it'll be an issue as thats probably not what's it's going to be used for, the fuel tank is behind the bench seat back and pretty much at the same...

We're impressed how nice it is overall, obviously the 3 mile range it has before having to have a siesta is a bit limiting but it'll get sorted

They've done so many recoveries on this year's policy that they're trying to get you to renew with the AA instead, or they're absolutely f**king inept it's definitely one of those two.

They claim tacho exemption so only allowed to work within 50km of their base, so could basically move it 100km max if they collected 50km south and travelled 50km north of base Edit: it's 100km of base, not done that stuff for a few years and my memory is getting rid of all the useless info

Don't let it taint the purchase, It'll all be sorted soon and you'll get a bit of summer out of it.

Standard parts are getting more expensive too, I've just paid £100 for a used plastic lower timing belt cover, air boxes seem to have tripled in value too.

As a lot of longer serving members will remember back in the day there was an issue with Mot testers incorrectly failing 172 cup models on the load compensator linkage/rod missing, and also little or no effort on the rear brakes the issue was covered in Vosa's matter of testing magazine in April...

The Elan is lush, wouldn't mind the Integrale and the C1 Corvette either

Toyo R1R for anything other than dry/damp Nankang AR1 for dry But it all depends on spring rates and damper settings really

Sounds fine to me but the look on your lasses face when I fired it up, she know there's going to be grief from the neighbours.

Not for long How deep do you want to be in to that Jim, I reckon there's another £3k needed on that

i think that kit was £340 last time I bought one, what are the specialists charging fitted, £750 - 850 ?

If I was looking, I'd want it without the belts done as I'd do them myself, but I'm probably in the minority of buyers. Out of interest what's the going rate for belts, dephaser, water pump, aux belt now ?

Smokes on higher loads rather than idle, i'm thinking inadequate crank ventilation or rings,
