Miata AGM battery from O'reilly fits my '92 Caterham perfectly.

Thanks, I have a alloy valve cover and managed to seal it with a FelPro gasket except for the very front behind the thermostat housing. My main concern is the flood coming from the front of the oil pan. Is there any problem changing the rubber half round seals with the engine/tranny in the car?

Looking for advice sealing up oil leaks from oil pan and valve cover with engine in car still. Any advice or success stories are greatly appreciated! Dave

No, not cold here in Texas. How do they blank off the water jacket? Dave

Reinstalling my 1700 supersprint crossflow head after valve job and have a few questions for you experts..... Re-use stock head bolts or new? If new, Stock or ARP? Oil on head bolt threads or dry? Will Hylomar be sufficient to seal intake gasket? Does the stud in the center of the intake bolt pattern need to be sealed? (does it enter the water jacket?) Any other tips? Thanks! Dave

The top block flange on my 91 Caterham has a small stamp that reads "SAMCCR" surrounded by an oval. About a half inch long in total, Some kind of engine inspection stamp? Looks like it was struck with a hammer. Any ideas what this is from? Thanks, Dave

Leakdown on the caterham 1700 last night revealed leakage from #2 cylinder through #3. Appears to be head gasket time. What is the best head gasket for a road 1700? Thanks, Dave

I am having trouble sourcing valve stem seals for my 1700 crossflow. .311 stem diameter and .470 guide diameter with duplex springs ID .570 Anyone have a source or cross reference vehicle with the same seals? Thanks !!! Dave Rettew

'91 Dedion car that jumps the rear sideways a bit at the 1st to 2nd shift under hard acceleration. Wondering if this is normal or should I look for something amiss in the rear end? Thanks for any thoughts, Dave

I get lots of vibration and noise from my T9 when downshifting and letting the engine slow the car. Is this normal ? Dave

How does one tell if a DeDion car has a Limited Slip Differential? What brands are commonly fitted and how to distinguish each? Thanks ! Dave

Thanks Steve, was it a "bolt in" or did you have to fab brackets? Did the terminals need to be re-wired? Dave

I have a Valeo alternator in my '91 Caterham with 1700 crossflow. It is time to rebuild the alternator but thought I would ask first if anyone has found a bolt in replacement new alternator as the Valeo is no longer available. Rebuilding a 20 year old alternator is of course the easy option but I would like to put a new one in if I can. Dave

I have a dual axle Aeroflow enclosed trailer for sale. Dave

Need a drivers side (left) retractable seat belt assembly for a '91 Caterham. Thanks, Dave Update - Found one, Thanks
