Re: PCJ 447 A2S5 Recommissioning
PCJ has had quite a week, bought it home Wednesday a trip of 30ish miles on the back roads, took it back to Worcester on the M42 & M5, it didn't miss a beat, today i thought i'd sort out the 'clonking' from the nearside front wheel, adjusted the kingpin by taking a shim out & also replaced the shock as it had leaked all the oil & the arm was thrusting back & forth, it's sorted & quiet now

As you can see by the 'cleanliness' of the rebuilt engine it is clocking the miles up, i try & give it a blast every weekend through the back lanes (tracks) & A & B roads too

Lots of drifting through the corners then? (We call it oversteer)

Re: PCJ 447 A2S5 Recommissioning
since the original post the liquid grease doesn't hold in my box, the seal must be rock hard so not i have reverted to cv joint grease which has a little more body & so far so good not lost anyA40FARINAGURU wrote:i finally got PCJ out & tested the steering box that now has grease in place of oil, it steered perfect with no problems, so yes i'm sticking with that idea

Re: PCJ 447 A2S5 Recommissioning
PCJ let me down today in this blistering heat, i'd stopped off at a shop for a few mins & it started up fine but a few hundred yards down the road it started to die which it does sometimes when i'd stopped & it was quite hot but this time i couldn't bump it & rev it to get the fuel up so it died, had a fiddle & tried various things & just as i was undoing the fuel pipe to carb a couple in a very nice P6 (Rover 2000 shape) V8 stopped to see if they could help & i just primed the pump as they'd pulled up & connected it & tried again & it fired up again, they followed me almost back to my barn, a thank you to whoever they were
