Well, I guess that since February you did remove and replace the side plate but I just want to say that I agree with Torinouk and Harvey. I did it on mine and with patience it quite an easy job to remove it, the hardest part for me was to refit the bolts behind the oil pump, I had to ask the...

Re: Pair of SU HD8 'SOLD' They are sold, thank you for watching

Hi I have a pair of HD8 carbs from a 2000 TC. They are good, one of them has the central nut and the float lever of the float chamber missing. Of course they need to be reconditioned. I have the inlet manifold too. If you are interested, make me an offer by PM. The carbs are in France. More...

Thank you John. I hope I'll drive a while before another long stop!

Hi everyone the P6 is back on the road at last! No more overheating issue. It took a while but I didn't have that much time to work on it and had irritating problems: I broke a waterpump bolt in the block, took time to extract it, then when everything was back in place, I took the car for a...

Well, don't worry, I'll put back a cover, the battery is off the car. There is no metal cover on my car. It was modified by the previous owner.

Thank you j_radcliffe, I did put some grease on the bolts and the plates are on now I began by the LHS plate, the easier one Then the RHS, more difficult because I didn't removed anything The rather tricky thing is the front bolts But I had a special tool: the hand of my 9...

Thank you Harvey. So I'll tighten them as I feel then. Hope there 'll be no leaks, that's my major concern

Hi everyone, I have enough time at last to work on the car. Does anyone know what is the torque setting for the 22 bolts of the side plates? I can't find it. I don't want to under or overtightened them which can lead to leaks. Thank you

I removed the RHS side plate today and it 's even better than the other side The plate is not so bad There'll be three or four bolts tricky to refit....

Yes James, I checked the temperature sender the old fashion way with hot water and a thermometer. The reading on the gauge was comparable to the thermometer I'll try to remove the side plate next week end.

Thanks for the links It's a good news that I have not to remove everything.Not easy but can be done j- Radcliffe, in a way I would have prefer finding this mud behind the plate because so far I don't know why it overheat

No, Colin, I didn't go to the other side yet, because there's work to do to make room. BTW, can you tell me what would be the clever way to make room without removing everything on the RHS of the engine? Sorry but I don't get the sens of "if you fix on hole there will be another along to spoil...

Victory! I struggled again and after heating the stud, it came off and what's behind the plate Close up of the front cylinder The plate After cleaning So, what do you think of it? Is it so bad that it can lead the engine to overheat? I loked at the other plate and it...

Thanks Harvey, I'll try next weekend
