Done the blanking plate myself last week. Be sure to weld the flap shut as it will rattle against the new plate (ask me how I know!) Just looks like old fuel in the inlet manifold?
Good point on rattle will look at that didn't occur to me, but it is oil residue, i think if fuel it would have evaporated pretty quickly, but soon find out as i will place a piece of wire gauze and see if makes any difference
I think you idea of the gauze sounds good, i remember that in the oil filler caps on old chevy engines etc, my 3.3 sounds like it has a big end knock but the bearings are like new, mains seem fine and tappets adjusted to 12 thou cold, did these engine have piston problems that you know of ? th-cam.com/video/qvewMTv7k9U/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn't like to say if pistons are a problem but what i did have on my 3.3 , the cam followers where quite badly worn, ie 'dished' where it rubs with camshaft it was a lot quieter after new ones fitted
@@MrJack559 I did choose the best from two engines and im sure they were all convex, is there a good forum that chats about these engines also.....cheers for the help, Brett
I'm envious of your workshop.
I owned the same colour 1965 Pb 3.3 back in the early 1970's, a great car which was much loved.
Hey mate,,, where did you get the cam followers from??? I’m building a 62 pa and wondering where to source them from
