Light pattern seems fine, these buckets are extremely easy to adjust with a wrench. The notch on the sealed beam bulbs for alignment was opposite the H4 replacements. (2 o'clock vs 11 o'clock) Honestly, I will play with a dremel a bit to correct this.
I opted for the high temp plugs just to...
I decided to do an H4 style headlight conversion. I picked up a pair of 24V H4 bulbs from the UK. They are 70W / 75W I believe the application to be a Land Rover with a 24V system that uses H4 type headlignt halogen bulbs. I also went with the yellow 7" retro fit lense since I was replacing a...
Boy, that is a MAJOR no no. Rods facing the wrong way. Testament to the engine's survivability though. My pistons had side clearance of 25 thousanths. Piston slap let about 5 of the wrist pin retainer clips loose. Cylinder walls were pretty well gouged and still started right up. Got that all...
This thread started in Jan of '08 and now is updated in Jan of '09. Lets be reasonable and shoot for full SS sticker production in Jan 2010. That way it takes the pressure off all the aggravating e-mails and the question is answered, "When can I get one??" Plus the suspense of waiting will be...
It is the same with any category of collectibles. If every one had one, IE a '70 Beetle, they still wouldn't be worth squat nor would any collector give them the time of day. The slow destruction by using up, scrapping, accidental loss and ever diminishing numbers are what make the all original...

WARNING: DO NOT look at these photos after a big meal :barf...

When I had the exact same problem with my M37 the radiator cap was the culprit. Wouldn't hold pressure and all the coolant went out the overflow tube and then the fan blew it everywhere. Then the temp climbed.
I don't know that this will answer your compression question, but there is a bit of info here with different years and HP ratings on civi cars & trucks with 218, 230, 251 and 265 CID engines And how about the 331 and 413 CID flat sixes?! I would love to see one of those monsters...
That may explain the extra .020 in the cylinders. Looks like it was bored out but the original pistons were used, not oversize. My TM9-1840A says min piston to cylinder clearance is .0002", max is .0012". With out using a micrometer, the flat feeler gauge between the two shows every bit of...
