Re: TC master cylinder
Neil: If you haven't already done so, I suggest you have a look at Doug Pelton's 15 minute you tube video on the TC master cylinder, The cylinder, by comparison, to other master cylinders is a very simple device and only offers limited means of inducing air into the fluid flow.

Re: "Weep" holr in TC bell housing

Have the shop install a new set of camshaft bearings for you and the camshaft if you have it. Have the flywheel magnafluxed and checked for b...

Re: New Rocker set - a good idea ?
It's common practice to have new bushings installed and reamed to fit the (new) rocker shaft, also have the pads resurfaced by a competent machine shop that does engine work. The pads are profiled, not flat!!!! Good to go....

The function of the hole and the big cotter pin (commonly called a rattle pin), is designed to rattle around in the hole to keep it from plugging up with the leaking oil and road grime. Your idea of a drip catch pan has been marketed by someone already and is found with some ...

Re: Carb leak

If one wanted to add a breather, the little top hat breathers used on the MGB, Austin Healeys and others would be a goo...
