If you can't get it to go in and out of overdrive, (ie drive on the open road and select overdrive, but it doesn't go in and out) then it may already be stuck in overdrive. If so - jack the car up &

Exactly right Charlie!!! The key is to realise that if your car won't drive backwards, (and you can't even push/roll it backwards in neutral) then your Healey is stuck in overdrive. If it happens, th

There is a huge ignition static advance anomaly between the factory specs for a BJ8 and every earlier 12 port 3000. The closest explanation for this i can offer is that the later 12 port heads are ma

Bob, if you fully screw the plug into a late 12 port head on your bench, and the look at the combustion chamber, you'll see that although the plug is fully seated & sealed, there are still exposed he

Hi Kees, No the plug can't be hit by a flat top piston in a westlake design cylinder head unless the electrode is below the head face. Ie the head face is shaved very excessively. A round flat top pi

Hi Dave, No - once we discovered the issue - which was during the rebuild - we just fixed the problem by machining the plug seats. It is clearly a factory machining issue. I'm hoping some other liste

Hi Magnus, The main reason I've found for rear brakes locking is that most modern rear brake shoes are relined across the entire shoe. Standard Healey shoes in the era were never relined over the ent
