Noble park brake and clutch or BGT Dandenong re line the plate and put new diaphragm in the pressure plate, should only be a few days turn around, have to be cheaper and easier

Capri The car I always promised myself

Thanks John.............excellent reminder of what we used to do in the 70's when new was prohibitively priced, or not available !

Yay!..........finally finished rebuilding the 4 speed man gearbox after making all the gaskets inc the one I always find missing between bell Housing and Box.
Still lapping in all 12 valves. Next job; replace all seals and gaskets on V6 Engine after "fishing out" one pushrod from the sump, that decided it wanted to be a "sub-marine" during head removal!
Happy New Year all!

GOT MY NEW VALVES AND MY NEW CLUTCH AT LAST ! YAY! hand ground all valves and reamed Guides to take new os valves....... But it was my clients sick cars thats been holding up progress on my GTV6 !.......made all gearbox gaskets and had the 5 oil seals in stock. Engine cleaned out and internally serviced and all dimensions and specs double checked, inc stock oil pump. Found the 2 screws securing the camshaft thrust-plate/retainer to be completely loose !!!! Turned out lucky to have a burnt valve ! Also found Big-end caps not tensioned correctly with quarter of them at half spec ! Mains were all acceptable tension but not perfect. Steam cleaned sump, timing cover, and rocker covers and engine bay. Next job: install heads and manifolds and carby and overhaul starter and alternator...................getting there! .........New engine mounts in new-old-stock (thanks Dad)
 
Hope you all had a great Queens Birthday long weekend !
