    OCC 469 - restoring & running a "sharkstooth" 2000

    Phil, check the cam wheel support plate. I had a very similar tick to yours and it was as a result of the chain just catching the support plate.

    running rough

    All may not be lost, measure them and see what the differences are. If its only a few thou you can put them back anywhere, you only need something to give you a benchmark figure.

    Brian, Sincere apologies for the typo which was down to me, I appreciate it must have been irritating as a new member to see your name spelt incorrectly. I have added you as a new member again in the April edition and this time spelt your name correctly! Your thread on here would make a great...

    p6 rover

    John, Thanks for the pics. If you can isolate the pump/fuel feed you could try filling up the carb reservior manually and see if it will run. It won't run for long but it wont flood and if it runs OK when the float chamber isn't being filled then you can be reasonably certain it is a float issue.

    p6 rover

    John, I also have a 1964 car so haven taken a picture of the distributor. Not sure if it helps but mine runs fine. I'd love to see some pictures of yours once it's sorted. Alan

    Putting a three litre in a 90.

    Tim I'm pretty sure the P5 crankshaft was different for manual 3 litres than auto 3 litres throughout the production run until the P5 Mk III came along when (I think) they managed to introduce commonality. Is it a DG autobox? If so it is from a Mk II or earlier P5. You will need a manual crank...

    Seat belt ebay seller vat issue (if outside UK)

    I'm afraid VAT rules are a nightmare for sellers and buyers. The problem he has is in proving to HMRC that the goods actually went to Australia which on the face of it seems easy, not always the case when dealing with goverment departments. No excuse for not responding to your emails though...

    Rolon timing chain tensioners

    This a bit worrying. I bought two from Winns six months ago and the bottom one has been fitted. :rolleyes: Is there an alternative? Will the INA ones fit?

    OCC 469 - restoring & running a "sharkstooth" 2000

    I've just booked mine in to be done over winter in 2 pack and when I asked him about colour match (not so critical when you're doing the whole car) he said "We find a good area on the panel, give it a really good polish and then take a high res pic whic we forward to the paint supplier, never...

    4Cyl clutch cover/pressure plate

    Not sure if it helps but there was a service newsletter that showed a mod you could do to the withdrawal housing though both cover plates seem to have a central thrust pad suggesting that there were two early type covers but I'm not sure that's correct!

    Extraterestrial UFOs?

    Obviously news of the P6 has reached the far flung corners of the cosmos ........I'm guessing with their advanced fuels they'll be after 10.5 : 1 early V8's which they can fill with 5 star........though how they'll condense 5 stars to fit in the tank goodness knows!

    Piston Ring query

    Thanks Harvey. Both the original and the new AE come with the two thin rings for either side of the 'mesh' ring but I was confused by the convuluted ring which does keep the thin rings in place to the top and bottom of the groove either side of the oil control mesh so I expected to see them in...

    Piston Ring query

    Replacing the rings on my 2000. The top pic shows the originals which butted together (I think) and were held in place by the convuluted ring in the groove. The second pic shows the AE NOS replacements. No convuluted ring and I'm assuming they somehow are supposed to interlock together but I've...

    Hairline Crack

    Well spotted. I had look and it doesn't extend round the back so I think I'll give it a go anyway. Once the sump is bolted to it it will provide some measure of support.

    Hairline Crack

    Thanks Harvey, It's the original engine No 400-00233A so I'm keen to keep it alive if possible as it's so unique to the car. No idea if it was there before as i only spotted it when I cleaned it all up and just about to start the rebuild. When I got the car it was clearly knackered and in need...
