Thanks for the detailed instructions.? I have come to the conclusion that if I'm going to be an Esprit S1 owner then I need to start doing this kind of maintenance myself.? I threw myself into the

I’ve had good luck sticking the distributor back in by leaving the clamp ring secured to the engine and just releasing the punch bolt but you need to twist the shaft to get the drive dog aligned so

Toaph, As you have discovered, there is a bias spring inside the oil pump housing. If you just loosen the distributor's retaining clamp(ie, back-off on the screw that tightens/loosens the 'pinch'

The clamp goes over that boss, right? It seems like you need to pull the screw and clamp off, then get in that edge of the distributor that you can see that should be internal and then the boss or

Okay, so I learned the hard way what my mechanic meant when he said that he can't adjust the timing or the distributor will pop out.? Please see the quick video linked below.? When I first tried to

Greetings, I acquired the lightweight steel flywheel and clutch native to early Turbo, asking whether it may fitted to my S2? Cheers Steve

Tim, Thanks for your usual thorough, detailed response.? I have no intention of monkeying with the vacuum/centrifugal advance.? I just wanna twist the distributor a little until it runs better.?

Okay, my bad. I was concentrating on too many other things at the time, and don't know enough on the subject, other than what you've tried to teach me (yet I still haven't completely mastered yet.)

Bill, You wrote: You 'WANT' 115 IN / 115 EX cam timing?? The 110 MOP is the design-correct MOP for the stock C-cams (both J-H and Federal Lotus 907s), and the engine will perform better with it than

Give 'er a go Bill, but I'd expect the 115 MOP to under-perform. The 907 is short on grunt until well into the revs and the 115 MOP will push the power upward as compared to 104. Cheers

Toaph, The Vacuum Advance and Centrifutal Advance are beyond the typical owner's reach to change. It can be done, but if you have to ask how, you're not up to the task... and the task is beyond the

Gents, I plan on doing a cam pulley upgrade soon. I think I can just flip the exhaust cam, and I have a C pulley from a JH for the intake, and have 115 MOP for both intake and exhaust. I thought I'd

Interesting point about specifying settings for emissions rather than performance.? I will definitely be taking timing readings and recording them with the corresponding anecdotal findings.? Since

Something else to keep in mind is that the WSM has specs for what Lotus had to do to get the engine to pass emission standards in the colonies. It wasn’t necessarily proving for the best running

So for what it's worth, my 2 cents. Yes, the distributor will easily pop out when the clamp is loosened as it is spring-loaded and and on a dog drive rather than the more familiar helical gear. As to

Well, yes, it is a bit of trial, but you are also using a timing light to figure out where it is, and when you advance it a couple degrees, what happens. It’s called science ? Take notes of what

I am running electronic ignition.?? A friend in college once told me, "You don't need a timing light.? Take it out and step on it.? You'll know if the timing is right or not."? Sounds similar to

Toaph, The vacuum pot on the distributor is actually a vacuum retard, not a vacuum advance. It retards the timing when you close the throttle, making the air clean enough for birds and butterflies…

I am checking the timing on my federal S1, and I need some tutoring.? I know how to use a timing light, but I don't have any practical experience with it.? The attached image shows where it's

Greetings Fellow Esprit Owners; The San Diego Lotus Club is hosting this year’s West Coast Lotus Meet over the 4 day weekend 20 - 23 October 2022. That date is coming up quickly. And so is the end
