My pads were used but looking good last year so... I've made +- 15000 miles since.

mmh... sounds like i'll go for another rebuild?!

Found that my 2200tc has a good oil pressure (around 65/70) when idling and over 4000rpm. As it goes over 4000rpm, the pressure drops to 55, even 50... Worn oil pump? Wrong motor oil? or maybe usual?

Hi there! Just spent the day to replace my rear brake pads (Girling calipers)... and found that the rear left wheel was almost not braking! the rear right a little bit more... and almost no handbrake on both. Checked that everything is ok, pads moving freely, good hoses, pushrods spinning free...

Hi there! Has anyone an exhaust manifild in good condition?

no rubbing problem for me, and i have 205/60x15 tires... Maybe are there different offsets?

broken propeller so the overhaul kit would be unuseful... Thanks a lot!

well... Don't have turned the key yet! I poured water to fill the rad and went to attach my choke cable then i heard a tiny "plick plick"... A real leak! Drops are forming along the gasket, it drips along the top of the sideplate then follows the clutch plate. IMO even 1psi would mean a shower! :-)

i asked them but they only had the set for a sc... I was looking for what to do tomorrow, seems like i have found!

haynes is the holy Bible... I wasn't able to find the tightening sequence anywhere. But i personally would have chosen the snail method...

waterways are ok, just took the head off to fix falling seats...

the head was lightly skimmed (just to clean it) and the head bolts washers are genuine... Clean block surface too. I talk about the right (oil filter) side... The head gasket i bought from jr wadhams seemed odd to me... Very rough faces...

no need to use pressure... Water drips from the head to the top of the sideplate... I don't have started the engine yet!
