Don't forget that motor oil (the 30W option) and gear oil (the 90w option) are measured on different viscosity scales, I have no idea why. 90W gear oil is about the same viscosity as 30W motor oil. A

Torque is why the 1275 is better than the 1098, performance-wise. The 1275 has far more power at lower RPM's, which you actually use, than a street-modified 1098. Also, a 1098 is pretty long stroke,

If you're planning to use the car on the street, I'd avoid changing the throat of the carb's at all - while it improves ultimate HP potential, it really screws up low speed and part throttle running.

Sounds perfect to me. Use 15W-50 in the engine, and if it's a new rebuild, use normal, non-synthetic oil for the first 500 miles. Helps the cam/lifters break in properly. In actual fact, you only rea

Short answer is no. When I sold my racing Cooper S, the new owner had some tuning problems. A quite experienced but not very smart mechanic "helped" him work on the problem, and timed the engine by e

Pretty much what I thought, about the Hoosiers. Up here in VARAC land (Eastern Canada) our vintage tire rules preclude our running radials of any sort. They're allowed, but only in sizes that aren't

there is an oil seal at the back of the hub, an o-ring and paper gasket at the front of the hub between the hub face and the axle flange and that's all. The manual says to pack the bearing with greas

Cams may or may not have the same timing as stock. As a general rule only, street cams tend to run at 110 deg ATDC, race cams tend to run from 103 Deg ATDC to 100 deg ATDC. The timing marks are dimpl

Basically, the single ball bearing design is marginal. The axle flange is forced to accept "wobble" loads that eventually break it because of inadequate support by the bearing. To check the bearing,
