What did you do to your E-Type today? (Part 1)

Guess I need to get a pressure tester and snoop around the cylinders to check that. But if a gasket leak, it would be odd that all but one would be affected.

When you go that far, I just automatically replace rings and bearings. Small price to pay in the big picture.

Bob,

This one maybe? I bought it myself. Worked fine with my phone. Careful though, you don’t always like what you see :wink:

Hmmmm… “Endoscope”, is that the kind used by my proctologist?

Thanks, but I use an iPhone and this one works on Android devices only. :cry:

No, your proctologist uses the 2" diameter one… :laughing:

Finally, I’ve found the good parts to manage the BMW getrag gearbox from my S3.

Are you happy with the getrag ?

Rearranging the car parts shelf and lifted the brake vacuum tank today and poured THIS all over me. I assume it is brake fluid? Dirty but appears to have originally been red. The beginning days of exploring my car, I also found red fluid in the carburetors.

Found 4 oz. in it.

Your booster/servo started to fail and the fluids were being sucked into vacuum canister.

I think this car might need some restoration work :wink:

I’ve found that the fibre washers need to “set” after getting soaked with fuel after the first use. After that I retighten the connection and have no more leaks.

Took her in for inspection and she passed. Another year of e type adventures await.
