  1. right. Any advice for cooling fluid as they preconized "rain water", i think there are very perfo cooling fluids nowadays, but maybe too agressive for old engine?
  2. Thankd all of you for online help and support. I lost the radiator filler cap during one year battle... Haynes says 0.5 bar. But i also find a 0.9 bar as a replacememt part. Any advice?
  3. Thanks Rob, I thought I could try to fire the engine this week end, but it takes time. and more than i thought because i'm not used to Triumphs. There's a lot in the Haynes, but not as formative than the ones for VW and Audis i have. The parts catalogue that i got from a french auto parts dealer is a mine of informations, and the link you gave me from Canley classics is quite good too. 😀
  4. Hi Job sd going on, but some help needed 1. I don't find the values of the valve rocker clearance 2. Not sure about the fitting of the 2 hoses from heating radiator to head and pipe. (Picture) 3. Try to connect cables controlling the injection Thanks
  5. Just now i realize that i should have sent this header for heat coating at the same time as my Audi stuff... 😑 Had to order push rods to Chris Witor... Plus this new game is find the right place to those nuts, washers and studs... Some seem fitting... ok. The finish line is not near
  6. impressive work for a new car. i love the colour.
  7. found the washers, head ready, block surface cleaned again...
  8. ... i don'tknow if i have them (dismanteled head long before i got the car)
  9. Thank you all. Maybe i'll go on 65 is 88Nm, which i find a strong torque.
  10. Hi, i'm back... After 10 months the cylinder head is back. 🙄 Time for questions : before reassembly : - the head never had inner thin valve springs (specific to 1972/France?). so i suppose the thick ones in place don't need inner ones... - head>block : must i replace studs and nuts or can i reuse studs or nuts or both? + Haynes says 45 Pound-feet [lbft] (= 61,01 Newton-mètre [Nm]),
  11. French market 1300 (all LHD) (by state, white seems very nice) 1300 TC Blue 1300 TC redish 1300TC white
  12. rare cars here in France, but o=1 or 2 were on sale in the past 6 months
  13. New old magazine from 2001. Classic comparative 2500 Pi mk2 vs Citroen DS 23 injection.
  14. Yes, that's on the program of course, thanks
  15. News... Cylinder head sent to a regional pro. Check/controls, surfacing, replacement of guides and valves if needed Leather caring (a bit dry but not cracky). Genuine Motorola radio receiver (waiting for some Bluetooth upgrade or maybe just remote for bluetooth modified speakers).
  16. Thanks for your answer. Any idea about the offset/E.T specs on your alloys?
  17. Anyone has advise about E.T/offset value for 7" width alloys on 2.5pi mk2?
