Good on yas!

Bought show field pass today, see you all in Carlisle!

Of course, I will be there. I will, once again, tow the car out and leave it in the pavilion with the Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

If MG Magic doesn’t come through consider buying a roll of marine carpet and cutting that to fit. That’s what I did on my car and a decade later I’m still finding new and fun uses for what’s left of the roll.

I also tried to make my own door cards but that didn’t go well so I got a real upholsterer to do them right and to match what the original…[Read more]

I thought I could adapt something to work in there but there was nothing that matched the ID and OD requirements. I went through all the bearing catalogs I had and even went to a bearing wholesaler who tried and came up empty.

I finally resorted to tak…[Read more]

No gas smell in oil, tire pressure was embarrassingly low (20 psi low on all 4 tires), and valve lash was correct.

I have not had time to check the plugs.

I went for a drive after my oil change and filling up my tires, experiencing significantly better gas mileage. I drove for about an hour around College Station, with  somewhat frequent stops…[Read more]

Good luck & keep us posted.

I will check compression as well and tire pressure. Hopefully compression is all good, I do not have enough cash around to rectify it if that is the issue
