I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
I'm pleased you liked my car. I've changed the clutch system for a hydraulic system together with a 5 speed gearbox. It still has the 4 banger, but with a little more bang to it.
This was nice to see, I owned 2 100-4's in the late 60's.There was a cloth/vinyl strip separating the fender from the cowl as one was made of aluminum and the other steel and would react and corrode if contact occurred. This clip doesn't show the fold down racing windshield. The four-banger had dual carbs that I spent hours trying to adjust. The clutch linkage hung lower than the body frame and on several occasions I lost it on a minor pavement irregularity.
@ThoxSpuddy You bring back a lot of memories. I owned four BN1 and BN2s in succession as a high school teenager in the '60s. My first BN1 driver cost $200 in '65. Today you couldn't replace a tire for that amount. I snapped three crankshafts EXACTLY btwn 2d and 3d main bearings. No cure for the cabin heat, drums faded, gear lever pin sheared so the long lever swung around the cabin in wild arcs, etc, but you couldn't keep me out of these wonderful/horrible cars! ALL should be restored !

My favorite year for the big Healey. Love the grill design and the simplicity of this year. Thanks for the video.

Glad to see that the doors fit- always difficult to get right. good panel fit too.

Beautiful!! You have a great start on that restoration! Hope it's finished by next year so you can start enjoying it!
I have a '56 that is going to need quite a bit of work to get to where you are!!
