Hi Chris, So are you saying that you have a column jack / ratchet handle available for sale
which would be suitable for a 1938/39 P2 ?? If so, then I'm interested in this jack, as this is
the only item / tool I am missing for my P2. Or have I misunderstood your last post.

The formulations required for modern vehicles are very different from those needed for older vehicles. Oils for modern engines comply with the latest API ratings of SN/CF and specific ACEA and OEM specifications dealing with fuel efficiency, extended drain intervals and aftermarket exhaust treatment...

Correct, Rule of 9 is only for 4 cyl engine, you use Rule of 13 for 6 cyl engine:

The “Rule of 13″ is a way to know which valve to adjust on a 6 cylinder engine.

However, Southport vehicle records may be lost, as they should be held by Merseyside

The least dust but most messy is to use Nitromors. Paint it on a panel at a time, then cover it with 1000 gauge plastic sheet and leave for a couple of days. Get hold of the plastic sheet and peel it off the bodywork, it should bring the paint off with it. Then it's a case of doing it again if it ha...

Speak to your paint supplier, it depends what sizes they sell the paint in, 4 - 5 litres (1 gallon) should be enough to have some left over for touching up, and at least it will be the correct match. Also depends on how much you have stripped off (inside & outside, or just outside). Good luck to doi...

It is screwed into the side of the oil pan, be careful when you screw it back in to make sure you don't cross thread it and get it all lined up correctly. It's a gauze bypass filter, just wash it out in parts cleaner or paraffin. Some engines have been converted to have a filter on the side of the e...
