The RM Auction is also featuring some nice Allards. Of most importance is JR NLN 650 that was raced by Duntov in the 1953 LeMans and by Curtis LeMay...
Colin: The auction JR is NOT the one Le May car. The Le May car is chassis 3404 (the car I now have). The one at auction is either the Col. Shilling car or the...
The car in question was 3403 and was driven by Duntov/Merrick. Classic Cars September 1991 had an extensive write up about the history and rebuild of this...
The car is not a JR, but rather one of the LeMan's bodied J2X cars. John _____ From: Allards@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Allards@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of E....
Dean, the one I am refering to will be at Bonhams auction at Quail Lodge during the Historics. It is listed as J-3055. If there is onre at RM, it is probably...

David, How much fuel did you have in the car when you had it weighed? Barry Burrell ... From: David W. To: Allards@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 02,...
Hi Chaps, I wonder whether you've noticed chassis no. 2059 on 'trademe' New Zealand up for sale ? Asking price $350,000. Originally posted as ending 26 July,...
How about one of our rich (read North American) cousins buy the thing and enter it in our NZ08 Festival of Speed tour. Barry ... From: Mel Herman To:...
It the asking price in US or NZ dollars? Which engine is in the car? E. Dean Butler _____ From: Allards@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Allards@yahoogroups.com] On...
I answered my own questions, as the New Zealand web site was easy to find. The car looks to be in very nice, restored condition. Engine is a 24 stud flathead,...
As a matter of more or less idle curiosity, does anyone happen to know the whereabouts of J2X-3146? This was the Cherryhomes/Shelby car, which my father and...

8/11/07 Ladies & Gentlemen; My K3 has a 53~ 331CI Cadillac Engine. This engine has solid valve lifters and adjustable pushrods. I have not been able to...
The only thing of any real importance re. solid lifter valve adjustment is that the lash does not become zero when the engine is hot. For most V8's, cold lash...
At a recent hillclimb tech inspection the scrutineers jacked up the passenger side front axle and noted considerable "play" in the steering linkage by virtue...
Hello David. I recall a while back that your car exibited a rather significant wheel shake ocasionaly. Is it possible that your rubber block was damaged or...
The valve lash adjustment is dependent on the grind of the camshaft lobes. It could be anything from 0.010 to 0.025 depending on the design of the lobes....
I suggest you replace the Silent Block bushing with a phosphor bronze bushing. The car will steer a lot better, and the tech inspectors will not have a...
Dean - Now the next question, of course, is where to get a fluorescent bronze bushing ?? Perhaps you could be illuminating on that subject - DW ... From: E....

Any large bearing supplier will have a catalogue with zillions of phosphor bronze bushings listed. You might have to buy one which is too long and/or has too...
Sounds to me like the camshaft you have will not need more than 10 to 12 thousanths of lash. It is highly unlikely you have a camshaft which will require more....
