(score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Wed, 13 Jul 1994 00:06:55 -0400 (EDT); I don't remember the full title, but the "CPI" guide is sort of a blue book for special interest cars. It gives a low, average, and high value for each car model listed, based on auction prices real; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00265.html (7,876 bytes)

That's usually the first wood to rot, so chances are if it's good there it's good everywhere else. Check for rust in the same area,; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00375.html (11,949 bytes)

Re: Leaking Valve Cover Gasket on TR-4 (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Sun, 24 Jul 1994 00:23:13 -0400 (EDT); A leak that serious usually means a badly warped rocker cover, usually the result of a previous owner torquing it down way to tight. It's unusual for a cast alloy cover to warp that bad, though. Did; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00555.html (8,956 bytes)

There are a lot of cars heavier than the MGA running around quite happily with 4-ply 165/15 radials as original equipment. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G.

Re: Spark Plugs (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Thu, 28 Jul 1994 00:21:41 -0400 (EDT); The Champion L87Y plugs I use in my daily driver TR4 seem just about perfect for the engine (same as your TR3 engine, basically).

Re: TR4 Rear Luggage Rack (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Thu, 28 Jul 1994 00:43:55 -0400 (EDT); Moss Motors sells a reproduction of the original factory accessory rack and a reproduction of the Amco aftermarket rack.

That's the plug Champion recommends for the TR2/3/4. It's an extended nose plug, giving it a fairly wide heat range compared to the original p; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00712.html (8,832 bytes)

Re: Spark Plugs (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Fri, 29 Jul 1994 06:42:41 -0400 (EDT); I don't mean to sound critical, but this whole spark plug thread is beginning to take on almost religious undertones.

Re: Hot sweaty synthetic oils (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Fri, 29 Jul 1994 07:15:33 -0400 (EDT); Synthetic oil doesn't eat British engine seals, and it's just as beneficial in British engines as in any others. One major problem which has given synth oil a bad name in BritCars is that a lot of o; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00714.html (8,212 bytes)

Even my leaky TR4 daily driver uses only about a quart every 1000 miles. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G. TC TC6710 NEMGTR #2271 feold@umd5; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00747.html (7,120 bytes)
