My partner and I will be running the Team L.O.S.T. 1968 FF Type 61 at the CVAR event held on May 19 through 21 at Motor Sports Ranch, Cresson Texas. All are...
... "This is Al's race and I will be counting ... Oh great, now we're going public with this? Is nothing sacred? Al I may be leading the count on spins, but...
Brent, Are you running the rear deck lid or not? If you run the rear deck, then the oil cooler goes on the left side, over the header, on a special bracket ...
Regarding the photos - way back in school days ( a dubious way to start any sentence) I was taught that a cooler mounted as shown in those photos was upside...
Andrew, I don't think it makes any real difference. It's not on the pressure side of the engine its on the scavenge side, between the scavenge pump and oil...
Its not the draining I am questioning - it is the filling. Does it fill fully? As you say, if the flow rate is only enough to fill the bottom portion, then...
Andrew, If we were going to do it right we would not try to cool a fluid (oil) that had entrained gases in it. We'd deareate it first and then cool it. The...
Andrew, I didn't think to go look at the "Smith bibles". About all I can further add is that my 61M has the cooler 'upside down' and offhand cannot recall...
Highlighting below is mine..... A Mk9 Titan I restored a few months ago is coming back next week for an engine overhaul. Pressure line from filter to block...
Carl, I have a Hobbs pressure switch (got it from Bean, but I think you can get them at NAPA), 40 PSI, that I have drilled into the galley, right above the...
Not having an engineering background perhaps someone can clarify a couple of points here: " Did my schooling leave out the detail that in a relatively high...
I guess I shouldn't have used the words high pressure. I had put them in quotes for all the smarty pants out there that would say there is no high pressure on...
Thanks Andrew. My car is plumbed, like John and Carl's, with the cooler mounted higher on the return to the reservoir. Since the reservoir is vented the cooler...
Hi All: The LOG 26 pages are up on the Lotus Ltd. web site. Please feel free to drop by and visit for details on North America's premiere Lotus event. ...
We spent the weekend at CVAR MSR Cresson event. Car ran fine, even with Al driving. A few minor issues like the collector pipe having to be collected by the...
First thing to do is a leak-down test. Listen at the breather and the exhaust and carb to hear where the air leak is located. Roger ... We spent the weekend at...
Brent, I second what Roger has said. When you do your leakdown test take a plastic tipped hammer and tap the intake and exhaust valve lightly. You'll hear a...
Oil pressure is about 70 hot at 6000. and about 25 at idle so that sounds right. The blow by began occurring Friday or Saturday early as we began to notice the...
Brent, Are you guys hitting apexspeed.com on a regular basis???? Lots of good technical info there in the archives. There was a big discussion there about...
Brent, Go read the engine casting number off the left side of the block and let us know what it is. If its a "711M" block then its uprated. You can use a...
it is a 711M 60158A. SO it is uprated...Now I have to figure out what that means. Caps, I assume, means Main bearing caps. SO I don't have that issue to ...
My limited experience on overflowing oil catch tanks has been ring blow by, not enough breathers giving high velocity air low out the existing one which tends...
