So, Finally fund out what the cause of the hesitancy is! After checking the carb float chambers for contaminated petrol, checked the floats, cleaned the jets three times,? checked the distributor,

Thanks all, onward, Gordon

At the Vancouver BC ABFM a couple of weeks ago, I spoke to a fellow who had recently completed an S2 restoration. His car won its class, which was recent restorations costing in excess of $100K. He

I had my car painted several years ago, in my garage. The painter didn’t do anything special, and didn’t have any trouble with the trim Bill Sent: Monday, June 5, 2023 11:59 AM To:

Hi Gordon, Wouldn't think it necessary to mask the body joint ridge, never read or heard of anyone doing so. The trim is flexible and the buildup of paint will not be unduly thick.

I had mine recently painted, I believe they did paint the whole car and then used a heat gun to install the trim. Still looks good after 20 months. Murray Graham 416-799-4219

Has anyone painted or had their Esprit S2 painted and know whether it’s prudent to mask the waist band support pieces. It seems like using several coats of primer and then several coats of paint

Rich, There's room for the sump to come out. The difficulty is human access and having enough wrists and elbows to reach everything. I did it when I was younger. Take a look and decide for

Rich, The oil pick-up tube rises through the sump to the point under that brass 'plug'. There, it's fitted with a plastic double-taper ring and compression fitting. The brass 'plug' is a part of

Tim, Is that large brass allen wrench driven plug viable or is it just a casting plug? -- Rich F '79 JPS #040 '95 S4s ...SHF63000

Car sits without use and I feel oil is draining from lubrication points.? Will use electric pump and one way valve plus just an SPST momentary switch. I am in middle of the same thing on my S4s but

No different than pluming into a separate filter adapter plate. I don't recall which is the in and which is the out hose though without looking. The sandwich plate diverts oil going into the filter

You can always re-orient filter and save yourself from dumping oil every time you change... I also added thermostat sandwich to keep the oil at proper temperature. Couple pictures of my

Rich, What are you planning to use as a pressure source... AccuSump?... electric oil pump? For the purpose of pre-lubing the engine with the engine off... it won't make a significant difference which

That is a valid point.? Which line is input? I am just concerned if the oil cooler adapter is the best place to create enough oil pressure in--say a minute to flow to all the points higher in the

The sand witch plate that is on there now will direct all of the oil flow out one port and take it all back on the other. It’s just a hose fitting with ends to attach to the oil filter and block.

I was expecting you to say that, and it got me thinking. I don’t know of any cars that come from the factory with a pre-oiler. That’s not to say that there aren’t. I just can’t think of any. I

I would like to add a simple pre-oiler setup, nothing fancy. My experience with my S4s taught me the difficulty of removing the factory sandwich plate. If I can find another place to feed oil to the
