Hi Fredrik,
i second Steve's statement that you got the wrong NGKs.
I am currently running on NGK XR5 again. These are just standard NGKs for about 30 Euro per set of 8 - no superduper Iridiums.

Before you start the deep dive with pulling the plugs etc what about a quick check with the infrared thermometer?
A misfiring / non-firing cylinder might be identified with lower exhaust port temperature.
Just an idea ...

nice half finished project - just to be curious, what was the asking price?

Hi Florian, first of all - just for understanding - are you talking about brand new engine parts or a used engine with high mileage? I have the impression some wear seems to be quite normal for the stamped steel rockers. As the contact forces are concentrated in the lower part of the rocker bore whe...

Hmm - not an easy situation. What you might also consider is to disassemble the engine in situ and start/try to unseize it. Means you pull the heads (which will also reduce the weight far by more than 100 pounds incl intake etc and has to be done anyway). Than you can see how desperately corroded th...

Hi all, i am just in the process to replace my 40+ yrs old valve stem seals. Now i have an idea how "petrified rubber" could look like. Genrally the job went smootly but during final inspection - when measuring the installed spring height- i noticed that one inlet valve retainer was about ...

Hi all, as we are a quite global community here the following info might be relevant (borrowed out of www :oops: ) rgds Thomas American fuel vs European fuel – Fuel quality on both sides of the Atlantic explained “Fuel in the US is really bad compared to Europe and the rest of the world” – is a very...

so it looks like the headline of the thread has to be changed in "who dares to build the first LHD FF"

Hi Andrzej,
i am really impressed how deep you dived into the Jensen world and specifically into this subject.
Meanwhile i GUESS that the statement of a LHD FF was just false (most probably not intentionally but caused by faded memory of the ex-dealer).

Hi Dave,

On ferry from Travemünde to Helsinki I coudn't help smiling when I heard some truckdrivers talking about "waybeer" - they obviously liked than a lot more than "waybills" :D Hi Stig, i guess the truck drivers would have been tempted by our "Fahrbier" as well. :D rgds Th...

It is looking horribly as if we will be travelling by modern car rather than in the Jensen. In spite of my increasingly frantic efforts to have it ready in time, as of this evening I have still got at least two days of wiring to do, plus dropping the engine back in. I was confident of getting ready...
