My first attempt and didn't like it so I made a better one the next time.

I used blue layout dye on my thermostat housing and top half where the hose goes. Where the hose goes? To the hourly hotels.

Mark we'd make a good team! I knew or at least had read that probably from you. If he doesn't have a paper punch a brass fitting will work to cut the gasket material also. Good catch, I need somebody that thinks like I do to finish my thoughts. Thank you Sir!

I meant to ask that too Dr Dave! How many Benjamins? With these old cars I'm thinking I might start a counterfeiting business.

Make sure the front and rear ends aren't bent inward. Both mine were so I'm guessing it's easily done, maybe on vale adjustment? One more thing to check. See if they will twist in any way. You'll need to get the connections re-brazed. One or two? more things. Buy gasket material and make your own, much thicker and better to me. I used drill bits to make the holes, small first then go bigger. Cut the gasket sheet to size and and put it against the towers holes then tap around there with the round end of a screwdriver handle to make indentions in the paper then cut and drill the holes exact. Worked for me. Glue the gaskets into the spaces of the spray bar with Permatex Aviation gasket maker. Let that dry overnight and you are good to go, no worries for years.

Looks good! Hope you have a good experience on installation. Mine was a huge PAIN I'll never do again (unless I get another 240 ).

That is really nice! I use a small Bluetooth speaker with my phone now and it does pretty good for a rechargeable speaker. Now I know about your amplified audio box and being able to wire it in with the battery with mounted speakers too. Thank you for posting, I had know idea about those but like using my phone for the source, simple while keeping my OE radio that I just put back in. I think I'd rather be hit in the head with a baseball bat than install another unit. I was getting a plan together for putting one in the glove box but not anymore.

I have these Pyles in my 280. They sound pretty good and are priced cheap. Heavy magnets too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pyle-5.25-140W-2-Way-Coax-Speaker-System/12518823 Here's some 3.5" that could be hidden in a 240 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pyle-3-1-2-Gear-X-Series-120W-2-Way-Speaker-System/12518819

I'm mistaken and sorry for that but it's been over my minds time limit. The head bolts don't go through the towers I don't think, the line up dowels do. Again I'm sorry but I have early onset of dementia. Too much sun has fried my mind like those eggs on the drug commercials.

The paper gaskets between the spray bar and towers could have moved and blocked the flow?

The head bolts go through the far left holes in my picture. The cam tower bolts go through the two that are in line with each other. The oil feeds are the smaller holes to the right. Hope you can understand my backwards arse thinking/splainin'.

There's no pressure built up in the tranny is there? A rubber freeze plug? a bolt? or just tap a 16 point socket on the square plug. Anxious to hear your solution and why in the name of god do you change it 4 to 6 times a year? I'm guessing you are a racer? That would explain the huge oil pan I guess. Rock on!

On my phone it shows your voice in text format but no visual. I can hear the car though and like you say there's no "thumpity thump" mostly treble. Like Young Frankenstein, it's ALIVE!!!

I've "LIKED" too many post today so I need to do it the old fashioned way. Thank you, I like what you posted except the cancer part. We can put a man on the moon but can't help people with that sickness, sad to me to know the big pharmacies don't want to cure it just treat it. Back when they cared about people they came up with cures. Smallpox, polio etc.

Thank you for that reply. I hope he's doing well and spending some quality time with his Bichon Friese. I always enjoyed his post of wisdom and miss them as well. Please send him and Sheryl our best wishes, he's family in my book.

Plug the Hoover up and suck that mess up! 8^)

Mine are white paint I'm pretty sure.

They all oil the cams journals looking at them now.

That's crazy cool!

He'd destroy a bowling ball with a rubber hammer. He was left for a half a minute without me and tried to ride on my poor dogs back like a horse. Little turd isn't coming back to my house until he's married.

The first and last towers oil the cam. The middle three feed the spray bar. I think without the spray bars restriction all the oil is coming out the first and last towers. It's too free flowing to come out the middle tower's holes, in my opinion.

Or...

That's funny! My nephew had something similar with plastic tires and all it did was spin on the hardwood floors in my sister's house. I wrapped the one that turns with Gorilla Tape and he crashed into her dining room table, put a big ole knot on his forehead. No more inside driving for him, luckily it's only too cold for a month or two down here.

I conflated Healey Z with Olzed.

The best collection I've ever seen! Your own car show.
