I have been using my Quikjack for the past few weeks to pull the trans and
rear of the engine to install the new plate gasket with lots of Right Stuff
Permatex sealant and have just got the trans back in.  During this time, I
would lower the car back on the tires as one of you mentioned that the front
shocks wishbone could be damaged by the weight of the tire if left to long
on the lift.  Please remind me about the problem and how to use a wooden
stick and where to insert.

Pictures?

 

I hope to have the Healey on the road next week so I can see if the oil leak
problem has been solved for good.  Using Oil Dye there was very little oil
shown which may have been cause by not torquing the plate bolts.  After
torquing the right stuff squeezed out in a few places so I am hopeful no
more oil on the garage floor after a run.

 

Regards,

 

Bob Begani
