What grade of oil is in the engine for example 20W-50?

I would not bother to start the engine twice - most wear occurs when the engine and oil are cold during the first 10 minutes of running. The starter should in no way affect the engine oil pressure.

I think that lamp is part of the A01 light group - not sure if you could order it without the other parts of the group. It is paired with the ignition key lamp and has a timer.

I don't remember exact price it was about 5 years ago - but yes it was pricey. It would be a lot worse today I think. I think if I lived close the TTI would be the way I would go for sure. The shorty design is ideal for a street motor. IMO they would work at least as good as the HP manifolds...

No change to starter but I remember having to tell them what starter I had. The stock one. Spark plugs easy as. I also purchased the shorty front pipes tube set - all fitted very well. The primary tubes are fairly small at 1 5/8 and not that long but at a guess they would collect at around the...

I used the TTI shortys. They were not cheap but they fit and do work quite well power wise.

Also there seems to be evidence of a fair bit of electrolysis or corrosion in the cooling system. Not enough grounds can do that and it can mess with the fuel injection. These days when fitting aluminium heads I fit ground cables to the body on both heads.

Can you post pics of the plugs. Why did you use the colder plug than recommended?

I fitted the Hawk HB643F.595 HPS I got them from Summit. They work very well.

If it held the vacuum you should be OK - or it is blocked. Run it with just water in the cooling system and a few old bath towels in the footwell for a few days. But they are old and do fail - so maybe just replace the core with a new/tested one as a previous poster suggested. This should...

Make sure you check the crankshaft end thrust. Just to be sure it is in spec.

Talk to Brewers.

I heard a clutch make a sort of ticking noise once - it was a bent/cracked release arm of the pressure plate. This clutch did work but was somewhat juddery when you tried to get moving from stopped.

Is there a little free play on the master cylinder pushrod? The master cylinder piston may not be returning all the way.

There is definitely a reflective foil in there. Sorry I can't exactly remember how I attached one of the reflectors on my car. I think I glued the reflective foil sparingly to the lens with clear glue - then stuck the reflector to the panel with thin double sided tape.

Trunk lid to hinge bolts ?????????

Glad to hear you solved the problem.

Oil is worth a try but I am going to predict no change the problem will still be there. Can you do an update after you change the oil.

I have been doing this clutch test since I was an apprentice. Not an exact science but it will indicate there is a major problem with clutch or that it may not be the problem. You will need a helper. Jack the car up and put on stands. Engine off. Get your helper to put the gearbox in 4 th gear...

Do you have a bearing or a bush in the end of the crankshaft? If the bearing it can contact a little ground ridge on the A833 input shaft. If a bush it could be a little tight.
