Thank you very much for your quick replies Dave and Alan. Well understand for the adjustment I'll check/adjust quickly the mechanism and test it next week-end. Alan, concerning the replacement of my master cylinders I'm going to try to answer with my words - I was a bit terrified about doing...

Hello, I own GT40P/2193 (MKII / Roush 427IR / ZFQ) and I have a question about brake masters cylinders adjustment. I replaced last week both brake masters cylinders and set the rods/shafts to equal length for front and rear brakes. Well it's not at all the correct settings !!!! Yesterday I...

Ok Michel Thanks. I've just called them and I'll send tonight a picture of my headers in order for to make a quote.. OliveR

Hi all, I'm coming to SAAC 38 from France and I'd like to know if some ceramic coating vendors will be present at SAAC 38 ???? What I'd like to do is to come with my headers + 4 in 1 and let them for recoating (in my luggages it should fit....). Once done the vendor will ship them to me...

Hi all, Well I've received all the parts to rebuild my engine and that's done now. The engine / gearbox / transaxle are in the car since yesterday. For info it took me 2 days with my father to do the job. Now I cannot go ahead because I have questions about the distributor: I've got...

Thanks for your recommendations. I've ordered yesterday to B2-Motorsports (Brent Lykins) all parts needed to rebuild my engine. He suggested me a Comp Cams camshaft with a compatible distributor gear for my Accel distributor (DFI). I also buy a new timing kit and all the gaskets of course. No...

Many thanks Alan, I've done the job in approximatly the same order..... Now waiting for the parts to do th ethe job in reverse order. Question about the clutch kit: I've to replace my clutch disk but nothing is written on it so I strictly don't know what I have. On the pressure plate is...

Well the engine is open... I just find a camshaft gear destroyed and some debris in the oil pan but that's all. The cylinders are ok, the pistons too. Now a good cleaning of the engine and the parts I'll reinstall and order the parts to Brent Lykins (B2-Motorsports) in the US (for those...

Alan, that's OK, I've removed the engine/transaxle/gearbox this afternoon with a friend. 4 hours to do the job, not too bad for the first time. I'll post a picture soon. Next I'll disassemble the engine Saturday or Sunday. Thanks again, OliveR

Hi guys and thanks for your replies. @Darrinps: The engine is out of warranty, it has been build in 2009. @Jac Mac: The engine has been rebuilt one time in the first 5000 miles. The previous owner was in fourth gear (ZFQ) and missed the fifth... He engaged the third.... You imagine the result...

Hello, I don't post often but I read every weeks all subjects that are very interested for a rookie like me in the world of GT40. I've got a SPF GT40 MKII (GT40/P2193) with a ROUSH 427IR since 6 months and here is what happened to me yesterday: I was driving the car and suddenly I heard...

Hi guys, Well I don't post very often because I have little experience on SPF GT40 comparing to you here but I can give feedbacks about two things: AVON & RHD. I never wanted a LHD GT40 even if in France we drive on the right side of the roads. As we are partially in the center of the car...

Oliver -- can you tell us exactly which Makrolon you're going to use? Hi Alan, I don't know yet the type of Macrolon I'm going to use. I let this decision to a friend of mine who well knows the product. I'll let you know once the choice will be done. By the way, for SAAC 38 that's...

Hi Guys, I plan to do the same on my MKII meaning a Turkey pan and a rear cover. For the turkey pan I've asked on another post the dimensions to build it but I still have no reply. (I have an 8 stack Efi Roush engine). It will be longer but I'll build it with a friend who's aware in...

Hi, I currently have a Roush 427IR (8x stack injection) installed in my SPF GT40/P2193 and I really want to install a Turkey Pan on it. I cannot remember where I found the following picture but it's exactly what I want to do. Does anyone has a plan or a scheme with dimensions for this type...

Alan You're right I forgot to specify that I was talking about the Rear main seals of the Engine NOT the ZFQ. OliveR

Well just to let you know that my problem is solved: in fact the leaks didn't come from the gaskets of the flanges but from the screws that tighten the flanges !!! I unscrew each of them (6 on each side), clean them and add some sealant on each screw. I drove the car this morning all is...

Well before leaving this morning I decided to add a sort of pan between the gearbox cover and the breather in order to get oil in it instead of everywhere on the gearbox. Of course I put a cover with a small hole on the pan. I've drove the car 20x miles and it's strange but I have nothing in...

Hi Jac Mac, I put Synthetic oil because Nigel Hulme (official SPF dealer in UK - and I'm sure that he knows what he's talking about) told me to use this type of oil. Sunny today in south of France I'm going to try the car and check if oil leaking is only coming from the breather. Let...

Alan I'm in doubt now !!! Tomorrow morning (it's 11:00 pm here in France) I'm going to clean all the gearbox and run the car 2 or 3 miles and check leakage just after. :thumbsup: I'll let you know about the result. OliveR
