Cheers Ramon.
I was thinking of draining the Redline, flushing and trying your suggestion as even when the oil is warm the change is poor.
I would save the Redline and put it back in if needed.
The box has only done 500 miles since the rebuild and new oil.

LT77 is a pain when cold!!
I have a LT77 that has only done about 5000 miles. She broke last year and went back to the builder for a check over. All was found OK. Since then I have only done about 500 miles. I use Redline MTL (not Cheap) but she is a real pain when cold. When warm the gearchange is OK. Any suggestions? (Chang...

I have the Webber 500 carb with a Mallory dizzy with the Petronix electronic ignition and high volt coil. I have a std cam, with a JWR Dual Plane manifold. I have 9.75 pistons and have had the heads skimmed so I can use comp gaskets with no loss of ratio. At the same time I had the valves re-cut wit...

Kevin I have just looked into this. You are completely right!!! A MGC bonnet is £300+ :roll: I have removed the air filter and found that the air after entering through the 2" high filter has to squeeze through a 1/2" gap before turning down into the carb. This must be a real restriction. I will get...

Kevin I have started down that route already, with recommendations from yourself and others I have fitted a filter on one rocker and a flame trap and PCV valve into the PCV port on the Webber. It seems to be running fine. One of the problems is I have a special Filter cover so all I could do is look...

Its 3.5 with MGOC ceramic coated block huggers and a twin system. Perry tuned her up for me and she runs fine but I would like to stop the start-up smoke and get her to breath a bit better. I plan on porting the head and fitting the later valve stem seals (modding guides) and if recommended, change ...

Big Valve cylinderheads-or not.
I am trying to roughly work out if it is feasible to upgrade my heads to give more power. After talking to Perry I believe the most cost effective way to give a power increase is fit a better cam with porting the heads. Is it possible to tell if I have a large valve head from a photo as at the momen...
