Hello All;
Sorry to throw a monkey wrench into the equation here but the ones on
my '68 lla are black wrinkle finish and are origional. Quite possibly like
everything else it just differs from one vehicle to the next and the mood of
the painters on the line that particular day?
I dunno but they look good.. but would probably look just as well with a
semi gloss

]From: AKBLACKLEY@aol.com Date: Sat, 5 Jul 1997 12:51:22 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Rocker shaft wear To Jim Allen and Chris Carter: I removed the right side rocker assembly, as this seemed to be were the noise was coming from. I warmed up the engine (again no noise until it was hot), removed the valve cover and observed the rockers in action. I tried pushing on the moving valves collars, rocker arms etc. with no discernable difference in noise. There was plenty of oil seeping out around the pedestal side of the rocker arm. I slipped a very thin feeler gauge between the valve stem and each rocker while running. I could not tell a difference. I removed the rocker assembly. I noticed that my mech. used quite hefty shims under the pedastals to adjust the preload, and that these were drilled to allow oil passage. The push rod seats all looked solid and in good condtion. There was noticable wear on the bottom of the rocker shaft, ie very shiny on the bottom and oil browned on the top where the rocker arm normally is. I didnt think to mic it (I needed to get it all back together to drive), but there is a very noticable wobble or motion when you rock the arms on the shaft laterally. All of them showed this to some extent. How much of this is normal/acceptable? On intial start up there is no noise. Would there be noise if the lifter preload was wrong on a cold engine? The problem is heat related, meaning due to oil thinning and thermal expansion I think. Other than this the engine runs well and strong. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Cheers.

Now for the bad news: Aluminium panels are a lot worse than steel panels. Aluminium gets brittle when beaten, and needs to be annealed, which distorts it, so then you have to beat it again - repeat ad infinitum. There are a few basic hints in the Land-Rover workshop manual. LROi October 1996 has some, also, and so does LROi June 1996, but both mine are out on loan right now. If you can't get these articles, let me know and I can fax them to you the week after next if you have access to a fax.

I haven't seen that show, but I did have an interesting conversation with a fellow who has a spring shop, about the quenching or tempering of metals, specifically springs. Apparently the English temper their springs with water, the Americans with oil. The transfer of heat is more rapid in the water, and thusly, smaller thicknesses of spring steel are used. More leaves of a thinner cross section is also a design factor, as well, but it was explained that the tempering process is a factor in the dimension springs.

Subject: Re: landrover exchange, where did it go
Have been trying to find the landrover exchange at
<http://www.billwood.com/lr/>, but am getting an unknown address message.
Did it move, did my bookmark get corrupted, or is it no longer alive.
Does anybody have the correct address if the site is still active.

Actually, just about any of the terrier-type dogs are great for scaring the
holy-$%@*& out of rodents (if they don't just wolf 'em down first). Our West
Highland Terrier is the sweetest dog, but one sniff of a rat and he's a
fanatic!
