The 'E' Type Forum

Does anyone know how many teeth it has? The 4.2 series 1 engine, 2 hole version. I ask because during cam timing with #6 piston at TDC I am able to get the cam alignment gauge to the point where it is touching on one face of the head and with about 10thou clearance on the other. I calculate about 1/...

I just got prompted to do my flag.
But as a NYLONER (New Yorker and Londoner)
Is there a way to do both UK and USA?

Also agreed. I have about 100k miles on the 66 mk10, (same head as your e-type), since the last valve job which at the time was nothing more than installing new guides, (phosphor bronze), and lapping with grinding paste by hand.

A key point is that on the originals there is an adjustable potentiometer which at least I found useful in fine tuning settings. I also had...
