As of yesterday, the Green Car has her firewall, and a pretty sight it is. The repairs were done by a fellow from Baltimore, to the tune of $200 US. A small dent in the wallet considering. He cam down to the garage where Im doing the rebuild, with 20 foot mobile welder truck and all the gear... The footwells were already installed, so we put the lump up on the chassis and mounted the doorpost sections to their holes. We measured 3 or 4 times and then cut the doorposts down, upt 'em back on and lined em up, with doors attached so that we knew the doors would close properly. Many a time I had inklings of dread, but Peter is an excellent welder and metalworker, and he tossed the whole lot together in about 1 1/2 hours. After the doorpost I made him patch some other areas which he had "forgotten". The result is that I now have a solid, albleit not so pretty, bulkhead. Well, it's pretty to me but to those finicky "coccours" types it might be considered a hack job. I ground down the most offensive globs of weld goop and then cleaned it. Then I stripped it. Then I cleaned it again. Then I primed it. Then I cleaned it again. (Where I hadn't got all the stripper off, oops). Then I primed it again. Then I primed it again. Then I got my spray gun out and slapped a couple a coats of Pastel Green on that bad oscar and ba-da-boom-ba-da-bang or wing-dang-noodle or whatever... After all was said and done I was finished at 10 pm, having started at about 12:30 with an hour for lunch. After clean-up and feeding the bosses cat it was about 11:30. Needless to say, I was a little late for work today... Oh and I should be able to retrieve my newly "unleadeded" cylinder head this afternoon.

Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 09:04:09 EDT From: "Steve Reddock" <steve_reddock@uk.xyratex.com> Subject: V8s, webers & SUs 3 friend's of mine (yep I really know more than 2 people!) manage to get 125 BHP at the wheels of an A-series engine whilst using one 1.75 inch SU HIF carb. This probably equates to about 150 flywheel BHP. If you can flow this must air through one, you can surely flow twice as much air through 2. IE no problem with V8s under 300 BHP. They do thin the butterfly, butterfly shaft & butterfly bolts to do this, along with a little smoothing inside. Without the smoothing they lost 2-3 BHP so you don't have to do it. The rest of the engine is lightly modified to produce this much power, but that doesn't affect this. The cost of going to a weber, with the set up costs, manifold, etc is huge. A pair of 1.75 SUs, correctly tuned, with efficient air filters, etc. will not restrict a V8 until it is heavily modified. Fitting a large weber will possibly make the engine seem more powerful as the low speed running could be worse, so when the power kicks in as the mixture finally sorts itself out seems more viscous, but it could be less power than before. A large carb will not flow as well as a small one at low engine speeds. When the weber from the 3l Ford strangled the engine slightly at high revs it would have been making the mixture weak which can only lead to detonation, closely followed by a engine meltdown. If you do any mods to a carburettored engine take it to a rolling road to get the full benefit. When I modified my first engine I spent ages tuning it. I thought I had it quite close, I had even used the needle recommended for that level of modification. When on the rollers I had about the same power as a std engine, but more noise & worse economy. After spending 70 quid on some of Pete Baldwin's time I had 15% more power and slightly better economy than before. For more information on SUs read David Vizzard's guide to Tuning the A-Series engine. It is a very useful book on how to make engines more powerful or more economic, with a focus on the A-Series. BTW, to make 125 BHP at the wheel an engine needs to suck as much air a 7 VAX vacuum cleaners!!!! So to boost your engine I suggest 15 Vaxs and a loooooooong extension lead :-) Have fun, Steve This weekends goal: 1st coat of primer on the chassis, unless something more interesting comes up.

KKelly, I don't want to take a lot of digest bandwith but a couple of points on what you said. 1. I am most closely aligned with the libertarian party so if I must be labeled after this post I prefer to be labeled far centrist. If you listen to me long enough however you might label me as "far right wing". I believe that the government has three very specific purposes. Anything other than those purposes is an aberration and should not be tolerated. However, most people don't think about it or if they do then they don't give a damn. So, I sit here and bitch into the void. 2. "far right wing". What exactly does this mean. It is a term created by the far left wing (hey this is easy!) media to be used against those people that are nuts AND want the government to leave them alone in their little worlds AND who take a position that the user of the phrase disagrees with. The current political landscape is not one dimensional. You are not either far left or far right or somewhere in between. Instead, our political makeup is multi-dimensional. Hence we have liberals that drive old cars which arguably pollute more. Assuming that liberals are for strict environmental laws then liberals would drive only the greenest cars or, better, they would walk. The guy that wrote the memo cannot be labeled simply "far right wing". A few bricks shy of a load more closely describes him or her. Side note, have you ever heard of the una-bomber refered to as "far left wing"? Ask why. Second Side note, even idiots if they talk enough say something worth repeating. So, there are some things that the author said that we need to worry about. 3. Your dad (and granted I don't know him) is not LUCKY. He worked hard to put himself in a position so that "it was not a big deal for him to just buy a new van for $20K.". Your father probably put in long hard hours and took calculated risks. Even if it was your father's father who did the hard work, then your father made the correct decisions that enabled him to retain much of the inheritance. If your dad won the lottery or became wealthy through a bogus jury award then please disregard this third point.

The terms right wing and left wing come from a couple hundred years ago, long before fascism or Marxism were developed. What constitutes "far" all depends on where you place the middle. The previous Tory government in Canada would be considered left wing by American standards, the Democrats in the USA consider pretty right wing by Canadian standards in many of their policies.

I like the idea with LEDs to indicate when engine temperature rises and the audible alarm when the temp is too high. For us LROs, I guess the audible alarm should be a PA speaker from a football stadium and located right behind the driver seat :-) When I bought the 109 I have now, I saw a sII 109 where the owner had mounted a red and yellow LR tail light at the instrument panel and connected them to the oil pressure and charge lamps. He said it was because the small lights were easy to miss when bumping around the terrain. Makes sense to me. The car was used for heavy weekend offroading only and that's why I didn't buy it. Regarding coolant temperatures, remember that if the temp gauge suddenly drops below normal operating temperature, you have probably lost all the cooling fluid.

Subject: Land Rovers in movies
A couple of nights ago it was too hot to sleep and I stumbled on the last
half hour of a movie called Options on the Encore channel. There were a
couple of 109's and a Forward Control in those minutes. I have checked the
Encore schedule for next week and it is on three times that I have found:
Options * * (1989, Comedy) Matt Salinger, Joanna Pacula. A Hollywood
businessman finds himself out of his element in Africa when he attempts to
locate a disinherited princess. (V) (1:45) |ENC|
8/27 - 7:15 pm, 5 am
8/28 - 1:30 pm
I don't know if the Encore channel on American cable is related to the
Encore channel in th UK.
A review of the movie from
http://www.iguide.com/movies/mopic/pictures/31/31761.htm follows:
Our rating: 2
In Hollywood, the word option refers to a producer's agreement to
purchase the
rights to a book, a play, or someone's life story for the purpose of
turning it into a
film. These days, competition for optioning material based on
real-life stories often
resembles a feeding frenzy among sharks, and success is usually
determined by how
far a negotiator will go to achieve a deal. In OPTIONS, Donald
Anderson (Matt
Salinger) is dispatched by his smarmy boss (James Keach) to option a
prize life story.
Armed with only his trusty briefcase, a laptop computer, and a suit,
Anderson flies to
Africa to track down Nicole (Joanna Pacula), a Belgian princess who
has abandoned
her sensational, tabloid-publicized lifestyle and failed marriage,
to serve and protect
endangered elephants in the wilds of Zambia. OPTIONS has enough
basis in truth to
make its premise potentially good material for satire.
Unfortunately, this
comedy-by-committee's better moments occur primarily in its opening
scenes, leaving
only the expansive African vistas, a clumsily developed love story,
and repetitive
chases to fill out the movie. The performers do well enough, but
they can't quite save
this picture.
Tape it and fast forward to the LR scenes.

If you have too much money laying around, there are almost endless possibilities regarding performance improvement, from reworking the heads to a full-on rebuild. I think that at this point, you should pull the heads, check the bores for oval and taper, decarbonize everything, install new gaskets and put it all back together again. If this doesn't give you a satisfactory increase in performance, you can think about a new engine while still being able to drive the truck.

Replaced both the VR and generator at the same time. On its first trip out, the charge light went out within a few seconds of starting up. However, the second time I started up, the charge light came on and stayed on for several minutes (5-10) and then went out. Each time it was started after this, it stayed on for 5-10 minutes. I tried recleaning the VR terminals with no improvement, then rechecked the connections to the generator. Finally, I retraced the harness to the generator. A section about 6 inches long was seriously melted with a 3/4 inch section of bare wire showing through. After patching in a new segment of wiring, all is now back to normal. When a put in the new generator I had inspected the harness leading to it and it looked fine, but clearly had some melting under the black plastic wrapping. Continued driving with it probably caused low level shorting with subsequent heat and further melting. The only thing I can think of which may of detected this problem short of unwrapping the harness would be to have tested resistance across the two wires to the generator. So much for the new harness.

They made a world of difference and since replacing them over a year ago have never required much further adjustment. I purchased them from RPI Engineering (You'll find their ad in LRO). RPI was an excellent company to work with - on time delivery and the fit kit fit perfect. I would highly recommend taking this route rather than the Weber's. They are a true switch out and make a world of difference - power, mileage, etc. Ted Lohr 198?

What do you do if you get a flat, buy a new set of tyres and Mags? Have you considered throwing out that V8 that got tired and replace it with a 2-1/4L petrol? It would be just broken in at 130000 hard miles.
