Thanks everybody for the knd words!
I did my first Healey-miles today. Tha car is running well soo far. A little
oil from the valve cover gasket and the oil filter case, but no horror.
After a few joyfull miles came the rain and stopped the fun. Such is life.
I have some questions though. When shall I retorque the head?
I have started to adjust the carbs with a WBO. Starange, but the car is not
realy willing to run on afr 1.47. For proper smooth running it needs
slightly rich mixture of about afr 12.5-13.5. Is it normal? If I weaken the
mixture it begings to run rough. I measure the afr at each downpipe just
below the manifold. The timing has little impact on it.

Gergo

PS: Healey forever.
