"Looks brilliant, so what capacity is the engine now? Regarding the pushrods, if they're the A14 ones how much adjustment on the tappets do you have left? I thought the longer pushrods were too long for the shorter blocks."

"   Hi everyone. Got my motor back from freshen up, very excited now I can finally finish stuff off. A12 block with A14 crank, rods and pushrods with a reasonably warm cam but unsure of the specs. I will be running a single 45mm weber and a set of genie..."

"Yep just bored to 77.5 for safety as A series bores are getting a fair bit of corrosion these days. If I do an A16 twin cam, full sleeves are going in for double the price of just bigger bore job. Mine will have 83mm sleeves for NA ca18de shaved pistons..."

"Hello all. I have just had a freshen up of my A12, new pistons, rings, crank linished etc. etc. Now the question is this, it already had an A14 crank, rods and pushrods in it so now I am not sure what tension I need to use for the head as the A12 is 46 nm..."

"Ok sweet thanks Dave. Ofcourse after realistic measurements, yes the bellhousing on whatever gearbox you put with an sr16 will scrape the floor. And i'm not touching the bonnet.   I have done a little research in an a16 but how did you go about it? Just..."

"Vanette A15 is torquey at low revs but has a cam that does not like to rev over 4000 with zest while the sunny version does   Best take the A15 vanette cam and swap it for a sunny A14 or A15 but they are hard to come by so best just take the A15 vanette..."

"Do you have a sight window in the carby to see the float level? Does the carby run dry when it cuts out?   You could drive with fuel cap off to check if it's a blocked breather."

"Ok So an update on this slightly random issue. I've just about got a useable work-around. Usually, i've got enough pace (doing 100kmh) to put the car into neutral once it starts to die, let the car roll for a while, letting speed drop off. I wait say..."

"Now that is lucky. I've never had a metal fan fly apart either, but the metal fans don't pull much air. The plastic units off the 1200 do a much better job, but in saying that I've got a metal unit in my thou currently, and its running fine. In my pile..."

"Hey Matthew The A15 will need simple custom mounts, not a big job. The Vanette 4/5 speed is quite different to the Sunny4/ 5 speed. Much shorter and I think the gear change linkage is above the box and probably wont fit in the thou tranny tunnel."
