No ramp here either but not an issue as it only leaks when my face is underneath

I had the 2 litre, nursed it on for a years or two then binned it. They like to crack the cyl head, liners like to leak from the tell tales. If it is puffing out of the dipstick it might mean it needs another rebuild, does not take much to...

Old Trump would put a stop to that!

Interested to hear how this expedition will help the charities?

You want a free car and you'll give the owner a lift?

Wont be air left in the system, once stat has opened it should have self bled. Get head pressure tested would be my advice.

Maybe 77 and 380 boxes have different set up as cables differ?

Is the belt flinging the oil up there? ie it is leaking from the front of the engine and not the top.

My 200 has a cheap facet copy pump off ebay, starts and runs just fine without it, but I can notice a power loss up long hills if not switched on. I think the lr mech lift pump is fine when working, but when it pack s up it actually causes a...

Thanks, I'm at the point now where I need to draw the line in terms of spending really. I think I'm going to put it back together with new rings, hone the remaining cylinders and see how it runs. With the little use it's going to have I'd...
