Hi Steve hows things. Its the high lift cams I guess, I shall try SNG and that VSM. Cross my fingers

Hi yes it does have high lift cams fitted while in the states. Thanks for your help

Hi I am just setting my valve clearances and I could do with some oversized valve shims around the 150" though I see standard they only go to 110". Do you know who would sell them or are they used in other vehicles in the sizes I require.
Any help greatly welcomed.
Many Thanks

Hi Steve a few pics of your breather, hose and fuel filter would be handy if you could. Hows things with you.

Hi all I have just fitted my long awaited Burlen SU kits to my S2 LHD 2+2 but wondered if encountered the same issues I have and how they got round them. Breather pipe when joining the breather housing is now obstructed by the bypass hose from the water pump. Just does not look good. Top hose with t...

Hi Steve , Mich thanks for the advice. I think your right I will move it to where it should be and cross my fingers.

Hi all just a quick question concerning the upper wishbone rear mounting and its shims. I have removed the mounting and confusingly it has 4 as well as what looks like the plate that goes behind the nuts. No plate was fitted behind the nuts. | assume it has been fitted incorrectly in the past. Shoul...

thank you some real good comments.
Think I need to get to some meets or find someone local to compare with.

Hi there what is todays best security device. What do people tend to use?

Thank you all for your notes they are very helpful. The wait is the most annoying part I must admit. I feel I need to get these SU's fitted, the engine was rebuilt in the states a few years ago and some fast road cams fitted which do make it a little lumpy on idle but will love the extra flow the SU...

And are they worth the expense, I am hoping so.

Hi there I have just placed my order with SU for their triple carburettor conversion for my S2 2+2 69. Has anyone bought one of these kits from them and what did they reckon.
Many Thanks

Hi there just wondering what alarms/immobilisers people are using on there e types. Do I go for a tracker?

Thanks

Hi the sleeves look real good. I plugged the ends and refitted it. Runs so much better now. Still love some SU's mind.

Thanks for that advice, Mine already runs rough at idle and on light throttle so was hoping it would cure that. I am going to try plugging them and see how I get on. Have looked at SNG and they have two SU conversion one around 3000 and the other around a 1000 more. Any idea of why the price differe...

Hi there having read posts it appears they are different to carbs. Not keen on the Strombergs so don't want to spends loads on fixing them rather spend on SUs.

Hi I have a 69 e type that I bought from California early this year. Would love to convert to triple SU if possible if I can find a set and I do have a wanted ad here to see if I can get a set. But until that time I have a dilemma with my one worn and one broken secondary throttle body spindles. Wha...
