The 'E' Type Forum

I'm sure i read an article a couple of years ago about a s3 e type which
had an electrically operated hood. Does anyone know if it has been done or even can it be done?

Hi Alex,
I have heard of doing it this way before. But as yet I have'nt
decided what to do.

Many thanks Doberman.

Hi Doberman, If you're anywhere near the chalfonts, i'd recommend having a chat with Tom Barclay, he is an etype specialist and his garage is in denham, near the airstrip. My Series 3 is there currently with the heads being taken off for a loose valve seat. he may be able to offer some advice..... ...

Hi Simon,
Well that is a novel way of changing the seals.
I will certainly give it some thought

Thanks for your reply
Doberman.

is it possible to replace the inlet valve stem oil seals without removing the cylinder heads?
