It is kind of a big dill! -
Proposal for a new 2021 Sevens HPDE in SC - Gauging interest
SENC replied to Croc's topic in National Events
Camden is a lovely, historic town in the middle of horse country in SC - well worth a visit. My 7 won't be track eligible without rollbar or even belts, but I'd love to come join, meet, and contribute if the timing works out. Henry -
The video link in this old post of mine still works, just is not embedded. https://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?12653-65-Lotus-Seven-S2&p=116016#post116016 Stay warm.

Same for me, John. And clicking on the links doesn't seem to work, either. Durn snow.

We appreciate your diligence in protecting us!

Well-edited, @JohnCH! How much did you have to cut to get to this concise, non-offensive post?

Adding a few more. This end also M10-1 thread (EDIT - correction that I believe this is actually 1/8" BSP, as noted above), and I got some close-ups and measurements of the fitting for you.

A few pictures for @escondidoron... Ron - I measured the engine end fitting - it is M10-1.0 (EDIT: thinking on this further, it does not make sense that this would be an m10 fitting, it is more likely a 1/8 BSP). I'm betting this end is the same, but I didn't want to force it.

Thanks for all of your efforts on our behalf - know this isn't easy, but also know it will be great on the other side!
-
This should go quickly, looks to be an excellent project from someone who knows these cars. I wish I had the space, and have passed this along to several others. Good luck!

In addition to the weak valve springs, teardown revealed some minor scoring in one cylinder, a touch of pitting in another, and some scoring on a couple crankcase journals and bearings. Since it is the original engine, plan is to have it pressure tested and inspected with hopes of boring out the cylinders 1 millimeter and installing new pistons, then regrinding the crankshaft, skimming and decoking the head, etc.

Winner!

The green truck. Have had it since 2010, put a bit over 200k miles on it. It has been a dependable truck and great for its towing and off-road purposes, solid for highway travel, and acceptable around town (other than mpg). Nothing exciting, but I like it. My wife does not.
-
Well done indeed, on both counts!
-
Agree, would love to see the luggage rack!

Yes, but with a 4 wheeler your odds are twice that of a two wheeler! :conehead:

A primarily photo update, but pulled the engine and gearbox in recent weeks - currently sorting the gearbox and prepping case for painting (along with a spare I've had on the shelf). Internals look great. Have also dropped the rear axle and removed dampers and springs all the way around - having them checked and, if necessary, rebuilt.
-
Equally interested in the history of your car - thanks for sharing! I've had a good time building history on mine, and know how fun it can be learning new tidbits. Well done!
-
I think we're going to need the full story!
-
Welcome! Can't wait to see how to get wine from gears, will save me a lot of $$$! ...Back after watching - beautiful car, sounds great, and fun road! Well done!
-
Thanks gents, good stuff! If you develop a technical section for Lotus Sevens, I'm happy to contribute the various bits I've collected.

Merry Christmas all! My daughter's gift to me:

Agree with @Bent Wrench - chased a similar issue on my pre-crossflow through HT leads, dizzy and cap, etc. before finding weak valve springs on 3 while doing leakdown testing and checking valve tappet clearances.
