Jaguar MkIV’s ▪ The engine for Graham Linnet’s old car has been completed after 2 years. ▪ Antony’s battery terminals on his

MkV keep corroding with battery disconnected. Suggestions to use copper grease and the reason is gases escaping near the terminal. ▪ Bob K is getting the 1.5 ready for

Cowra and thought he had stripped spark plug thread on number 4.

Bob K took the head off to get fixed and found two cracked guides and loose valves. Bob K used the head he recently had up for sale on behalf of another person. ▪ Working on Malcolm’s 420g and found a fuel tank was rusting on the bottom seam. Tank has been sent in to be fixed as no new tanks available. ▪ Ross has had trouble getting the steering box out of the MK IV 1.5.

Due to the shorter front, it is harder to remove than a 3.5. ▪ 2.5 SS motor recently auctioned in

Adelaide by Scammell’s. The motor sold for $380. ▪ David has MkV engine running.

First start some piston noise. Pistons were just touching the head. David machined the top of the pistons 30 thou and now perfect. David is taking the MKV to the trimmer Saturday.

General Business:

▪ Border Run for next year is going to be at Mt Gambier. ▪ Bob K has done a lot of preliminary work for this run, but due to Covid the run could not go ahead. ▪ Bruce, Malcolm, and Ross will do a combined effort to put together this run. ▪ General car talk.
