Re: daimler 250 v8 1967 recomissioning

I have decided not to use water in the system and ahve opted to use a specilist coolant wish is not based on water. Having rebult the second distributor I have noticed a change in the gear at...

Re: daimler 250 v8 1967 recomissioning

I do have positive earth lumination that I fitted this year. after fitting the new engine the system is now refusing to produce a spark even though its not been touched.

Re: daimler 250 v8 1967 recomissioning
hi there everyone well engine is in but still dry at the moment. I have found a problem however that is very strange. The new engine has the same water and dynamo fitted but the old belt does not fit and I have had to go up to a slightly larger belt. Is there any change in block size between older a...

Re: daimler 250 v8 1967 recomissioning
Hi there dave Engine looks great in your engine bay. At the moment I have fitted the engine back into the car. Had a bit of an issue with fitting the manifolds but I had anticipated doing the head gaskets once the engine was refitted as I only dry fitted all components prior to fitting. Bolting the ...

I did have a note in the documentation with the car that the rings where changed approximately 20 K previous but they have sat for ages. When I measured them I got 76.5 mm bore...
