Hey Ian What ya gotta do is pull out the camshaft followers and the bush/guide that they sit in after ya take off the bolt & metal retainers. The diameter of...
Hi Richard, ... They show that the manifold has legs of different size. But this is not due to beeing R12 / R11 but because the pictures show different sides...
Yes, but that is just due to the photographs I had available of an R11. I have phisically tried to fit an R11 manifold and it is a lot shorter than the R12. It...

Hi all I talked to Vech years ago about this lousy porus guide.... of the cam followers and what he said is to leave it alone. Like Dietmar says it does get...
